    True story.

    I was at the supermarket and I was about to pick up a bottle of premium steak sauce. The guy walking by me says that I should look at the label; it's just ketchup and horse radish and I can make it better at home. I check and he's right. I thank him and go on.

    A few minutes later I see the same guy buying bottled ice tea.

    I his defense, have you ever tried to make iced tea with ketchup and horseradish? It’s fucking nasty.

    I've found it surprisingly difficult to make good iced tea.

    imho, the secret is to use dried mint leaves, not fresh.

    which mint? i was just at the nursery and they had an entire hoop house full of mint.

    i also discovered how much fun it is to say hoop house and i've been annoying my wife with it. HOOP HOUSE!

    lol! I go to the local butcher shop that has a rack of Salma [TM] products and get 'mint'

    Technically, it's yerba buena, which is Spanish for 'good herb'

    And Cheech and Chong notwithstanding, it's not marijuana.

    A quick search says it's neither peppermint nor spearmint, it's a unique herb.

    Again, not marijuana

    Also, I thought 'hoop house' was a typo for 'hot house.'
