    I see that Aardvark hot sauce come up every year, and every year I forget to find some of my own to buy.

    How is it?  (flavor, heat, etc.)

    @GATraveller let me know what you think about the cookies. I can't open the little bastards without eating the whole bag. I figured if I threw those in I wouldn't have to use as many old shopping bags for filler.

    @gmac I'm in. Thanks Caz!
    HA!! Knocked out the bag of Pecan Sandies in one sitting last night!!

    I know there is little chance mine will get there today. Sorry. But I keep checking to see when it arrives. 

    Of course shipping alcohol and raw wood across international borders isn't any reason to be concerned either....

    I was gonna go overnight, it changed from $34 shipping to $245. Crazy.

    Not sure about the rest of the country, but here we are not supposed to move firewood from one town to another.  I think it is the emerald ash bore's fault.

    Do you have the emerald ash bore there?

    We do but this was Apple that was cut a long time ago. I suggest the recipient burn it at 250 for several hours in order to render it harmless.

    I am waiting for a call from UPS.  (i chatted on line and then talked to an agent and then a supervisor for over an hour)The package i had going to TX is possibly still here in MI waiting for me to claim, remove unapproved contents and re-send.  The tracking info provided is "logical" scan data.  Basically the trailer my box is supposed to be on gets scanned, so when i track it, i think it is TX, but in all reality the guys at my ups hub are probably enjoying my recipients beer.

    That sucks @kl8ton
    I used to enter a lot of homebrewer contests and I always expected an entry to get sent back but it never did. I successfully sent several "yeast samples" around the country for a few years.

    I love learning about all the new stuff.  My first exchange I got a Santa Maria style rub that I've ordered off Amazon like 3 times since then.  And it isn't just the stuff I've gotten from CA, GA, and now TX - it's looking at everything that's been sent.  @gatabites is probably within 20 miles of me, but if you look at the package he sent, there is nothing that overlaps with the package I sent.  So now I know that I need to do some more exploring around B'more.

    It's amazing. Good heat but not so much you can't enjoy the flavor, which is incredible. It is without a doubt my favorite hot sauce.

    As a fellow Gamecock myself....where might one find the VA Gentleman Steak sauce? That intrigues me.

    Hi @northGAcock. I ordered it online at http://www.shop-vahistorical.org/mobile/Virginia-Gentleman-Bourbon-Steak-Sauce-10-oz-P194.aspx
    They also have a barbecue sauce.

    Thank you @cookbook_chip (and fellow Gamecock!) You really outdid yourself. Lots of delicious Virginia & Chesapeake goodies, even threw in some Melvin’s BBQ sauce from Charleston for my SC mustard base fix and I can never have enough Dizzy Pig or Jerk seasoning! Did have one sauce casualty…let’s please have a moment of silence for the Virginia Gentleman Bourbon Steak Sauce. Particularly sad for this bourbon loving girl. Not to mention it smelled amazing. No worries…he will be replaced…I’ve already ordered a couple of bottles online. Also love the BGE corn holders and can’t wait to get started on a family cookbook (www.familycookbookproject.com.) Thanks again so much! Hope you and all the eggheads out there have a great Fourth of July holiday! P.S. LOVE this exchange...can't wait til next time...thank you @cazzy for coordinating it all!


    That Jerk is legit and potent!  I have been using DP's Game On on my beef ribs.  Very nice flavor without taking over.

    A huge thank you to @Parkersquared for the awesome gift pack from South Mississippi!  I haven't ever tried any of your selections, so very well done sir.  Can't wait to try the J Lee's sauces from Biloxi!
    I was just saying to the wife the other night that I hoped my Elf was from LA or MS because I'm running low on creole seasoning!  Thanks so much for the generous gift and thanks to @cazzy for this great exchange.  Enjoy the weekend- I know I will now!

    Hello @shucker,

    Thank you so very much! Wow, you went way above and beyond. 10 bottles of sauce, 3 bottles of rub, 4 different kinds of local hardwood & a t-shirt from his team (snagged by my oldest son before I could even get a picture). All items are from North Carolina. 

    Thanks Again. I really appreciate each and every item.

    That Lambert's rub is really good. I have a buddy that requests it every time we cook a butt for UGA football games. Great flavor profile.

    Well done!
