There's no better way to find out that you have a papercut...

than to find out while chopping hot peppers.

The stir-fry ended up pretty good though, despite the throbbing pain in my thumb... :) And I think this particular kind of pepper is hot enough to use in something I'm gonna be brewing up pretty soon. Literally brewing. I'm working on a recipe for a mead I'm gonna call Loki's Helfire. It'll be what's known as a Capsicumel. It'll be sweet, but spicy at the same time. Now I just gotta figure out how to make it end up with a red tint...

2. Or rubbing alcohol.

But I don't usually cut rubbing alcohols in my cooking. :)

3. or vinegar n/t

4. D'oh.

Went back to the store today to get some more for my capsicumel... and they were out. Go fig.

5. Chopping hot peppers and nose picking also do not go together.

Not that I've ever picked my nose.

6. Oh yeah, me neither.

But damn it stings. :P
