"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and crushed red pepper; saute until shallots are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add vodka and ignite with long match. Simmer until flames subside, shaking pan occasionally,about 2 minutes. Increase heat to high, add cream and boil until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, boil until sauce thickens and coats back of spoon, about 2 minutes.
