That I could probably tolerate as long as it didn't smoke up the 
refrigerator too badly.  I grew up on Grandpa Hartman's horseradish, which 
on neighbor once asked why he put it up in baby food jars when he made it.  
The answer, delivered with a straight face, was that anything bigger and it 
spontaneously combusted. To this day, I'm the one who dips his french fries 
in horseradish sauce.

And you have probably done more with it than I can remember doing right 
now.  We need Mike K. to set us straight I suspect.  I hope he is still 
with us anyway, I haven't see him since about a decade back when he stopped 
by in his van, with several ranks of organ pipes in the back, and helped me 
get rid of a 6 pack of suds.  We managed to blow about 4 hours on the front 
deck in lawn chairs.
