Hot Sauce 'on the go'

If you are one of those people who puts hot sauce on everything and finds it boring to continuously only find options like Tapatio, Valentina and Siracha (which for the record i do love but they are not quite enough all the time.) Anyway, as I was saying... if you are one of those who wants to venture out when eating out or at work but you don't want to throw the whole bottle from home in your purse or backpack or suitcase...I have found something brilliant...(please excuse poor photo quality.)




I love love love Japantown in San Francisco. Why? I find all sorts of things that are ingenious that i DO actual need and use AND they are dirt cheap. This find in particular is a very important day to day item, I believe it was actually intended for soy sauce. Of course, hot sauce makes much more sense in my opinion. : D The pictures below show one of my little ummmm 'hot sauce creature holder thingys' I think this one is supposed to be a bunny, but i also have a panda bear and another one that i haven't decided it's species.

ZARB - is it Champagne? or is it Art?


 "For Zarb, Champagne is an everyday tradition, like brushing your teeth or losing your house keys." -Zarb web page under 'Reasons to Drink'




'Lips' modeled.



'Belly Button', 'Lips' & 'Hope' by ZARB
 'Hope' by Zarb









I highly recommend stocking the web page posted below. ; ) Specifically at the rest of ART bottles as they truly are amazing works of ART... not to mention the page's aesthetics and humor value are worth your time.
As for a mini bio- it is not your typical heart and soul from a winery that has been in existence for generations upon generations. it is a smart business tactic to be honest....here is brief article on it. http://www.amsterdamadblog.com/2011/01/03/zarb-turns-champagne-market-upside-down/

As for taste- I've yet to find legit tasting notes on the bubbly itself. SO it looks like I will have to find a bottle myself! : ) For now I will leave it at being pleasing to the eye...
