Wow, Kathy, what a jackass!
Shoot, I just realized that I had not planned "do my taxes" into my weekend time. Granted, I've DONE them already and just need to make sure I have all the copies and so on that I need, and do them in pen (since I did them in pencil first) and write a check for the one I owe to, but...still.
Try milk instead, Matt
or anything with fat in it. more info here
The milk in my fridge is almost a week past its sell-by date. I don't think drinking it would help.
I know that 10 or 12 years ago I wouldn't have blinked at food this hot, but my stomach has become far wimpier since then.
Milk or honey. Both excellent coolers for the spice. (I load tortilla chips with honey, or lacking chips, a spoon, and rapidly consume when encountering too much hot. Thank god mexican places routinely have honey as a condiment -for sopapillas- at the table.)
Mmm, sopapillas. It's been forever since I had those.
So hungry. Wishing my friend would get here, but his flight was an hour delayed, and just landed 40 minutes ago. Sigh.
One big pro of Thai food over Mexican to me is that even with blazing hot dishes I can taste other flavors under the heat. Anything Mexican with jalapenos or habaneros in it, I just taste hotness and nothing else.
Plain bread works, too, Matt, since the milk's bad. Water actually makes it worse.
That's why I prefer green chile. It doesn't tend to overwhelm, even when it is oh-fuck-hot. Red chile does. And jalapenos? Eh, they aren't that good.
Ugh, it was hot today in the Bay Area and running a practice at Noon seems have have juiced me of any electrolytes and left me flopsome for the rest of the day. Yeesh. And we've got a game tomorrow. Emmett's flying in after midnight and probably won't get to bed before 1:30. Now is the time for him to have Jolt Cola.
