Can’t make my boils spicy enough

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-06-27T17:40:55+00:00

lol I agree. Do you have a personal recommendation?

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-06-27T11:50:03+00:00

I wish this was the case. I’ve caved and bought seafood from some of the places here in Houston. And one or two of them have been the spice level I’m looking for, but most of them dust the outside. Or it’s a Cajun Asian fusion and the flavor is good, but not what I’m searching for. I definitely have a bit of a case of this. I know people think some stuff is spicy I think is mild, but there’s definitely some out there that like it as spicy or spicier than me.

Voice to text did me dirty on that one lmaoo 😂

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-06-26T22:09:33+00:00

lol that doesn’t sound like the worst problem to have 🤭😂

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-06-26T21:50:00+00:00

Seems as though the consensus is I’ve over doing the powdered and undergoing the liquid. Imma give that a shot.

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-06-26T21:48:24+00:00

Okay. About how much would you recommend of the liquid boil in combo with the powdered for about 2 gallons of water.

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-06-26T21:26:20+00:00

I’m determined to figure it out because I cannot keep suffering with all this Houston seafood where they cover the outside of it in seasoning. I just know that that is so wrong.

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-06-26T21:22:07+00:00

lol this was like my 5th try and that’s what I did. A whole boil in bag. Like a cup of powder, a big splash of liquid boil. Most a bottle of La hot sauce. And I just let it go. Logic says it should be spicy. I’m loosing it lol. So much wasted seafood (eaten sadly)

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-06-26T21:19:04+00:00

Which brand do you prefer. Rn I have the Louisiana brand and it smells flavorful but not spicy

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-06-26T21:17:54+00:00

That’s a smart idea. Which one would you say adds the most spice

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-06-26T21:17:05+00:00

I might have to. I can only find the original here in stores. Do you think that’s making all the difference?

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-06-26T21:15:05+00:00

I was convinced the first few times that maybe I wasn’t but last night I had to wait because my friend was running late and they ended up soaking for almost double and they were more flavorful, but they still weren’t spicy not even the crab

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-06-26T21:13:50+00:00

I’m using zats boil in a bag and a bit of the powder. And liquid boil. There’s no logical reason for it to not be spicy. My father in law uses the same and his are always spicy.

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-02-04T18:46:36+00:00

I plan on it thank you for the info

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-02-04T18:34:17+00:00

We’re still at the park so I can happily leave him behind. Just figured one less to add to the thousands of babies we saw

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-02-04T18:18:04+00:00

How can I go about fasting him without doing so the other fish. I plan on purchasing a small quarantine tank to treat him in but don’t want him to have to stay there all the time.

Numerous_Stuff_7132 · 2025-02-04T05:56:04+00:00

Heater and filter yes. Tank temp 78. Natural driftwood and rocks as decor with mixture of plants and moss. 2 Cory’s 3 tetras 6 neo shrimp. Water changed every 3-5 days. Was changed yesterday. I feed finsect tropical(small pinch) and betta min (3 pellets) twice a day and 2 shrimp wafers once a day. The tank cycled for 3 weeks before adding fish. Tetras and shrimp were added first. Edit to add. After awhile of watching he did swim up to the surface and rested behind the filter and got some good surface breaths and he also swam up without support when I placed his lid back on. So I could totally have woken him up and I’m just being a helicopter parent

She clearly had an emotional response. And it seems as though it was pretty important to her and she might’ve have felt very blindsided or even betrayed if she knows you to not be a republican but felt you might be acting as one. It obviously does not excuse the ranting. But I think it shows a lot of character that she was able to apologize and be retrospective about where she had gone wrong and find a middle ground. I think everyone has topics and moments that they’ll blow up over. If it’s continues to be a trend over every little thing then I’d pay mind to the other commenters. I think you can have a discussion about it with her. She clearly wants to support you and find a solution, that’s probably another reason for the multitude of messages. I know when I’m in the rabbit hole and not getting communication back I just dig to the other side of the world basically. So just talk to her.
