TOO HOT TO HANDLE

"Honey, where did you put the bag I brought home last night?" Frank called from the kitchen

"It's under the counter, Kim replied, watching as he meticulously pulled on a pair of rubber gloves.

"I need to make a special bath just for Miles. He doesn't fully appreciate the blending of the peppers, the spices," Frank was saying

"Not to mention the fact that it's been know to eat through a styrofoam cup on one occasion," Kim reminded him.

"Now that was one damn fine batch of hot sauce," he said and began setting out the ingredients for his special hot sauce; his Christmas gift for the rest of the team.

Kim laughed. "Well, be sure and clean up the kitchen when you're finished. I'm going to make sure everybody's in bed." She turned and headed for the stairs, leaving her husband to his endeavors.
