Re: Tierra! Jump in, sweetie! The water's fine!!!...Re: Cayenne Exit Burn

LOL-Oh Healing Wings, I had to laugh. You are just like me! I made salsa last night and no one in my family could eat but me. Everyone was guzzling down water! Now I found a great way to make the kiddo's drink more water! ;)
I grew up in AZ and so I was eating hot food since I was a kid. My dad loved cayenne and put it on EVERYTHING including ice cream) so since I didn't want to be a wimp I forced myself to eat it. So a few years ago I was in a authentic Mexican restaurant with my best friend and her Mexican hubby and we both ordered the hottest 3 star hatch chilies dish(I LOVE hatch chillies) so at the end of the meal he was amazed that me, a gringo, ate it with no problem while was he was sweating and guzzling down the water! So all my life I have eaten chillies/peppers no ill effect. My bum has gotten tough-LOL. I wish you could grow hatch chillies out here they are the best!!!I am going to grow mass amounts of cayenne though!
