SLight snag in marinara adventure

[HEyHEY]

The advice on wearing gloves with the hot peppers came too late. Then as I cut up the onions I sneeze and put my finger over my nose to avoid a further attack...now the end of my nose is on fire!!!! egaad I'm ordering out nextime!

1. Ouchhhhhh!

I put the pepper up to my mouth one time and started to take a bite and I ended up at the Hospital.

You learn and believe me you will never do it again.

Did you nose swell up?

[HEyHEY]

4. No

But that nostril is fucked so I can't smell the nice marinara I'm cooking. I washed it with milk...then I just gobbed some vasleine on it. Now it doesn't burn but it is all wierd!

I'm laughing too

[Nikia]

2. That's horrible

Why am I laughing? You'll get better soon. A similiar thing happened to me while making chili a few months ago.

3. Wash your nose with milk

[HEyHEY]

8. I can't it's all in the sauce!

[HEyHEY]

7. This reminds me of once in high school

this guy doug brought in some kind of hot hot chilli and dared anyone to eat it...the whole class turned to Sanjay (sp) he was Korean (that is spicy food right?) so we all figured..okay go dude...he agreed. Took a bite and about two seconds after ranout the door with Doug chasing after yelling, "Drink milk Sanjay not water!!!!" hahaha..I am suprised the teacher let it happen..

9. When I was in Hawaii

many moons ago I sat down to a nice dinner with friends - thought I was chomping into a glob of sour cream with my spud - it was horseradish! YIKES! I was OUT of drink - dad to RUN inside to wash it down! WHEW!

10. A lady confided to me...

that she and husband, after making and consuming a delicious Szechuan dinner, started to make love. He had cut up the red peppers and as he touched her in that most private of places, she learned the real meaning of "burning passion."

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Egads!

I stupidly rubbed my eye once after cutting up some jalapenos. Jesus ouch! And I'd cut them up like ten or fifteen minutes before, and had handled a bunch of other food in between time, but that nasty crap was still on the hand.

Now, it's "cut peppers, put in dish, immediately wash cutting board and hands, never touch peppers for rest of cooking - only touch with spoon or spatula.

If you really want to kick up the heat, roast the peppers in a broiler for a minute or so first. Or put it on a skewer, and hold it over the flame of your stove burner for a few seconds, and get the outside a little blackened. Increases the heat about ten fold. Be sure to reduce the amount of peppers you put in the meal after you do that (I *didn't* reduce it once, and I love hot food, but that was just damn inedible)
