Try milk instead, Matt.
Yeah... That went well.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

Because books.
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.

Yes, you need something to absorb the capsaicin - starch or fat. Water just spreads it around so your entire mouth is on fire.
