Hey guys to make you fell better about yourselves why don’t I make a list of all the ridiculous mistakes I make in the kitchen? Let’s call it kitchen mishaps. This is likely the first of many: On a recent Saturday morning I was making Huevos Rancheros, preparing to start the salsa by cutting up some jalapenos. I know, as a person who has injured himself before, that the seeds are the spiciest part of the pepper. But I was feeling comfortable - I’ve chopped a lot of these recently without any issue.
This time however, while cavalierly tearing out the seed spines with my hands, I let loose a cloud of invisible toxic dust, effectively pepper spraying myself. I don’t know if you’ve ever been pepper-sprayed but it’s a pretty aggravating sensation. Not as bad as the time I sprayed habanero juice into my eye, but the pain was stubbornly intense, setting off a wild chain of events that ended with Kara swabbing milk on the inside of my nose. I tried to inhale that milk to clear out my upper nasal passages and although it helped a little the feeling of liquid spurting up into the lower regions of my brain was equally unpleasant. The eggs were ok. By then it was pretty hard to taste anything.
