My eyes are watering. My nose is running. I’m doing everything in my power to maintain deep, even breathing. My mouth feels as if I’ve just taken a big bite of the molten core deep at the center of the earth. My fingers are blood red and so dangerous that if I got them within a yard of my face, I wouldn’t be able to see for a month. To some people, this sounds like hell. To me, it sounds like an absolutely delightful afternoon snack.
Spicy hot food is a ridiculous notion. Pain with eating? Seriously? Systemic symptoms that seem to be saying, STAY AWAY FROM THIS? Yet people ignore the warnings? If you want danger in your meal, eat McDonal'd for two weeks straight. At least the punishment is deferred.
Funny you should bring this up. I recently received a Facebook post regarding tacos and their after effects. My answer to that, and yours is: Or, in taco terms: Green alert: Salsa verde is leaking out the sides. Yellow alert: My mouth is numb. Red alert: My anus is on fire, bring out the Prep H!
I don't understand it. Your mom's side of the family had asbestos taste buds and my dad never met a chili he didn't want to inhale. And yet my eyes start to water if I walk too close to the Cheetos at the supermarket. I hate roller coasters, too. It definitely skipped a generation with me, but somewhere your granddad is beaming.
your writing is spicy, which is why I come back every week for more
The burn is worth it for that hot Cheeto dust
Tacos Villa Corona in Atwater has a really excellent spicy red sauce that will make you sweat. Best breakfast burritos in town!
That was a great trip into the spice world! Especially for someone who lives on the polar opposite. Do NOT put tabasco on my mac and cheese.
Flaming Hot Cheetos and Bitchin Sauce. Couldn’t live life without them!

Quite a hot topic, especially for old stomachs like mine. 😢
I like spicy! It's fun to test new hot sauces particularly in Mexico. That said, there's always a degree of fear of the aftermath. Livin" on the edge!
