Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 I think Gene might be refering to the many flavored oils you can find in gourmet sections either in regular grocery stores or healthfood stores. I don't know many namebrands, but I have seen flavored oil and I own a bottle of hot chili sesame oil currently. Maybe something like that would work. (?)

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Thanks, P.T. Jungle drums on the second one! Those look tasty.
