Holly Cow That Was A Mistake (Reaper Pepper Grinding)

 Here there are fresh out of the mail. I got them for $9.99 each postage included. One for me and one for a friend to give to her friend. Got it on eBay. Yes they are authentic.
 So I drop them in the spice grinder and grind them up. It all went well till I took the top off and the dust got me up the nose. Well that kind felt like burning hell. It's an hour later and it still burns. It gets better though...
Here it is in a baggy. I dumped it in carefully as to not make more dust. But I skipped rule #1 of handling things like this - rubber cloves and a mask. You already read about the nose and to some extent my mouth. Well washing out the lid I got some on my fingers. I washed with dish soap as they tell you to do.

Well I have a coffee and go to take a pee. Guess what? Now that part of my body is on fire as well. This is AFTER washing my hands well with dish soap. So yeah, you want the gloves. I knew better but I wanted to do it today and not wait till I got gloves and a mask, so I paid the price.

Next month I'm going to make a big pot of chili out of this. There will be a very small amount of it used. This is literally enough of it to make 30 gallons of chili that is hot as hell. For my YouTube friends when I eat the chili it will be on video.

I used to eat very spicy things all the time but my body is no longer used to it as it's been at least 5 years since I have had mega-hot spice. So this might be entertaining.

Remember when you handle things this hot, gloves and a mask when you grind it. Never tough it with your hands. My finger is irritated from touching it. A fresh pepper can cause chemical burns to sensitive skin. As well touching your eyes with the oil on your fingers will send you to the Emergency Room.

I've seen people eat one of these things but I really don't think you should ever do that. Some people have had to be rushed to the hospital to save them from dying after that bad move - it can swell up your air way.

I'll be adding in very small amounts and taste testing as I cook. I want it really hot but I don't want to damage myself. You can end up puking or pooping blood after eating stuff this hot.

On the up side you get a chili high out of it LOL. It's short lived but there. Some people kind of like that feeling. I'm indifferent to it. I just like the sensation in my mouth for some strange reason.

Anyway - happy pepper eating and be safe (Unlike me today).

OH one last word: People with COPD or other respiratory illness should not eat things this hot or be in the room when it's cooked.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
