    When I was in Chicago went to my Mexican friend’s house for home cooked Mexican! Yeah. Looked like that.

    Wife: “Ed’s guts can’t take spicy.”

    Shoot me.

      The dual-use of the English “spice” (ground minerals used to improve flavor) and “spice” (substances that cause food to taste hot and intense) leads to many unfortunate losses of potential flavor.

        Seriously. And you will very quickly get used to it. Like you wouldn’t believe what happened to me when I started making red lentil dal on the regular, but after a while, my bowel movements went back to regular and no more “ring of fire.”
