…my butthole keeps burning but I never learn. It’s so damn delicious.

Can spicy food actually cause physical damage? Burns? Infections?

I remember how painful it was when I did my pepper spray examination. The teacher dropped a few droplets onto one of my closed eyes and then they told me to blink. It felt like somebody was trying to dig out my eyeball with a fistful of lit cigarettes. With a scoville level of 5 300 000, that’s not surprising…

    Damage? I hope not!

    I just made Caribbean rice and peas using homegrown dried habaneros. Great spicy heat!

    Except this time I mixed up my dried habaneros with my dried Carolina Reapers. Breakfast is now half portions with 2 pints of milk. Math says I added the equivalent of 19.5 habaneros to the dish intended for 6 serving. (Now 12)

        Over in those parts “peas” are often red/kidney beans. My dish used red beans. (I like the texture better)
