Fast Tip Friday: Try Something New

Aug 4, 2023 7:00:00 AM

I’ve got to tell you, recording all these Fast Tip Fridays, sometimes it's a burden on my brain. I'm trying to figure out what to say, what the message will be, and I look down and there it is, the bottle of Franks Red Hot.

I love this stuff, but I have to tell you, most of my life, I've not been a very adventurous eater. I like what I like, and I was raised in a typical meat and potatoes household back in the late 50’s, early 60’s, into the 70’s. I loved plain, I loved it. It was just reliable. It was so tasty. It was comfort food, and then I don't know why, maybe it had something to do with some of the things I did in college that weren't really part of the curriculum, but one of the things I started doing is taking a risk with hot sauce. Hot peppers, jalapenos, Tabasco, sriracha, Frank’s. 

Frank's hot sauce is as reliable as anything, if you want a good taste and a little bit of fire. So what's the message this week? The message this week is change something. Go out and change something. Take a risk, go over the edge, spice up your palate, go eat some Indian food, go put hot sauce on something you never put it on before, change the way you do something. Get out of your norm and create a broader world of experience and willingness to try things you never tried before. I was looking for a Fast Tip Friday topic… and there it was. It was staring me in the face the whole time. Frank’s Red Hot original cayenne pepper sauce… that's going to be my reminder to try new things, bigger things, bolder things, and to really look for new experiences that may bring who knows what? Maybe I'll hate it, maybe I'll love it. But I won't know if I don't try it.

Do some of that yourself this weekend. Go out there, go eat somewhere you've never eaten. Go visit somewhere you've never visited. Spice it up, love life. Have a great weekend. Take care.
