there is not enough Prilosec or Nexium in the world to allow me to eat those hot peppers or use that sauce
about 6 years ago, I bought a super duper kind of hot pepper at Super Food. it was a Madam J.
(it was the first year SuperFood was open, so maybe more than 6 yrs)
my friends Sherry and Murray had a garden and wanted to grow that particular type of hot pepper available in Aruba.
so I bought a pepper and was about to embark on horticulture 101.
I texted Sherry who was at home and said ok, now what?
she instructed me to carefully slice the pepper open and with tweezers remove the seeds.....wrap the seeds in a paper towel, put it in a sandwich bag and bury in my toiletry bag so that US Customs would not know I was smuggling seeds.
well, the US Customs gods punished me.
in error I touched my face, the next 45 minutes was a blur.
I was in "pepper hell"........my eye was burning, my lips were burning and I was promising God, that I would never ever smuggle anything for anyone ever again. I was nobody's mule.
I wound up in the first aid station @ LaCabana begging Abraham for assistance.
He poured some milk into a cereal bowl and pushed my face into it.
in a matter of 30 seconds I was cured.
yes, I did bring the peppers home to them.
yup they grew MJ peppers from the seeds.
ahhh good times
