Pepper Plant!

Tom has a love for hot sauce. He puts it on pizza, burgers, and if there is nothing else to eat, saltines (yes, saltines). Last spring his friend Ben got a post-doc position in Tom's lab and the love of hot sauce became even more intesne. They take turns buying Red Dot hot sauce so the lab remains fully stocked.

Ben bought Tom a cayenne red pepper plant at the beginning of the summer and we are currently trying to keep it from taking over our balcony! It has 6 peppers that have turned red, about 20 green ones waiting to change color, and approximately 35 flowers that will eventually blossom into peppers. We are going to try our hand at making our own hot sauce soon! Wish us luck!
