*singing* E is for Eggs, F is for Fish, G is for Grapples?!

I've had lots and lots of fun the past few days trying new things! My best friend took it upon herself to go ahead and motivate me a little more on this adventure. We have been tackling on different letters by the day as our quest is winding down more and more each day! 

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to taste something you may or may not heard of. Grapples. It's basically just like it sounds. An apple that tastes like a grape.  When I was told about such fruit, I had to do a little investigation of my own before I decided if it was something I wanted to do or not. Apparently grapples are Washington Extra Fancy Gala or Fuji apples because they take on the best grape taste. These juicy grapples are made with concentrated grape flavor and pure water. I must say, if you haven't tried a grapple, they are DELICIOUS! Although, I must say, if you don't like artificial grape (suckers jolly ranchers etc) I wouldn't recommend it, as they are strongly flavored and very juicy!

Besides Grapples, I have also gone on quite the endeavor recently. My husband eats everything with hot sauce, and when I mean everything, I truly mean everything!  From chicken, to cottage cheese, noodles and steak he throws a dab to a couple tablespoons on to EVERYTHING! I personally have never ate with much hot sauce. I think that it is the way you are raised. He was raised having hot sauce on all the food his mother cooked, so it's like you had to eat it or you went without. Hot sauce is such a overpowering taste in your mouth...a shock, if you will.

So for one meal, I ate EXACTLY what he ate. Chicken, stuffing and beans - all with hot sauce douced throughout, and even more hot sauce on the chicken.  I swear he soaked the chicken in hot sauce before even putting it into the oven. When I ate this meal with him, I went through 4 glasses of ice water, 2 cups of milk and STILL had a burning urge in my throat for a few hours after. WOWZA. Red Hot is no joke. Now I'm sure there are arguments as to what the hottest hot sauce is, but I'll tell you, this was enough to light my mouth on-fire!

How hot can you handle it?
