Please pay attention

When you're running through the grocery store and you see szechuan sauce, don't just grab it and assume it's peanut szechuan sauce. Following that, please don't use it that evening as the main sauce for your stir fry. For that bottle you're holding isn't peanut, it's HOT. And instead of pouring 1/4 of the bottle on your food, the label recommends 1 teaspoon (or 1 tablespoon if you're feeling particularly brave). This will save you the tedious task of picking through a plate of hot lava looking for the shrimps because they're still edible since they were put in last and only have a hint of non-peanut-flavoured szechuan fire.
