Butterfly Bakery Maple Wood Smoked Onion Hot Sauce - Great flavour and smell, with a little kick.  I made fajitas trying to mimic the taste of my favourite Mongolian Grill dish.  I substituted this hot sauce for Mongolian Fire and was not disappointed.  Would probably be good in a chili, burger, or spicy chicken wrap.

WW84 had an appropriate level of cheese, I think.  I wouldn't change the tone, and the moral is always a good one, especially when dealing with mythical characters like Wonder Woman's amazons.

Without any spoilers, here's what I would change about the movie.  After you watch it, let me know if you think these would be improvements.

1) At the start of the movie, we're shown a young Diana learning(?) an important(?) lesson.  Instead, I would start with Max Lord's childhood.  We're shown it later in the movie anyway.  I'd put it up front so we're compassionate with the character.  This would also serve as a less transparent reason to bond with Barbara, as they could be kindred spirits, and only later we learn his obsession.

2) I would postpone the difficult thing Diana has to do.  She still has cards to play at that point.  I think she'd don her special armour hoping it'd be enough to protect her.  When it gets shredded from her and she's beaten to the point that it's clear she can't win, only then she does the difficult thing, knowing the implications and that there'd be no warning.  It would devastate her while she's already at her lowest point.  Let her rage of what happens fuel her return to the fight and victory over her adversary.

3) Ignore everybody else at the end.  In my version we start with Max Lord, sympathize with him, understand why he does what he does.  So we need to end with just Max.  Chuck the "I wasn't talking to you" speech.  Let Max see the truth of what he's done to what he holds most dear.  They kind of show that already, but muddy it.  I'm just suggesting removing all the noise.  Make it purely his realization.  Make him alone do the thing that saves the day.

The rest of the movie, can stay as is.

Historic Lynchburg Jamaican Jerk spice captures that great jerk flavour.  Not very hot, but as a spice it's great to add before grilling chicken

Okay, last post for awhile.

The last part of Taer Prison Isle Quest.
Once you enter the Underworld level 2, you face 2 locked doors. Open either door and your key is removed from your inventory. Either door will close and lock behind you, but there is a lever inside each door to open it from inside.
What you are looking for on this level are Taer Prison portal Crystals (red item) and Taer portal activation Crystals (blue item). The red crystals only work on Taer Prison Isle and take you back to the Prison upper level (and saves you a very long walk back). The blue crystal actuates a currently inert portal found in the lower left had corner of the Underworld Level 2 map. The red ones appear randomly on different monsters in this area. The blue ones ONLY appear on the body of a Morhg, keep killing Morghs untill you find one. Walk near the portal with a crystal in your inventory and the portal will trigger. Prep then enter the portal, and you will face another of Larad's underlings. Defeat it and take all the items. Don't rest here, enter the next portal that appears and this takes you to Larad's Lair.
You'll face more of the same enemies as level 2, Demonflesh Golems, Admantium Golems plus at least 2 Dracoliches. Fight them or slip past using Greater Sanctuary, and find your way down to Larad's last underling. After you kill her take the key from her body and rest then prep and enter and face Larad.
When fighting Larad, keep a close eye on your hit points, use a potion of heal whenever you hit points get down near 1/2. His key will only open one treasure chest, (none have I ever found to have epic items). The real treasure is the Dreamcatcher Longsword ( sells for about 13 million GPs, and the Book of Blades,Biting Bashing).

If you have red crystals, use one and teleport out to the upper prison level then exit the Island.

I hope all this helps with a really obscure quest that is difficult to complete, but has some very worthwhile rewards.

Maybe some one else will pick up this thread.
Take care everyone.
