Holiday Hunting, Part 2

Next I ordered a gift basket of hot sauces and condiments from the 2002 Tabasco catalog for my fire-breathing brother-in-law in Colorado whose cuisine philosophy is, “It’s simply not possible for something to be too spicy.” The catalog is small and a bit too sparse on copy. And when I called the customer service number, I discovered that placing an order was actually number 4 on the voice prompt, behind taking a tour of the Tabasco Country Store and inquiring about an existing order! I found that strange.
