something about me has changed in the past few months. i. crave. spicy. food. i don’t want to say hot food because hot food burns my mouth and i don’t like burning my mouth. i’ve been ordering indian food extra spicy. i’ve been adding extra chilies to chili and salsas. i now eat raw jalapenos and serranos. i taste test sauteed nopales seasoned with habaneros. i add extra red curry to my tom khaa gai and complain that it still isn’t spicy enough. at the counter, i ordered a burger with pepper jack cheese, raw jalapenos, roasted green chilies, extra red onion, and habanero salsa. it sounds like a GERD bomb but it was awfully tasty. i was sorry the chocolate milkshake extinguished the small burn.
