So, I picked up the farm share, got home, pulled what I thought was a pork chop and put it in the microwave to thawed. I started a ghetto version of my mom's quick marinade (balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil & herbs and I threw in a dessicated lime that's been hanging around), found the pork chops I'd ask stentoriansista to leave out for me, realized what I had thawed was a chicken thigh, cooked it, one of the ears of corn and some leftover pasta for dinner. It was awesome. Threw the beets from the farm and decided to take the handful of hot peppers I have and make my version of Potbelly's hot peppers & carrots using this recipe.
You know, I can't even say I wasn't warned. I thought about putting on gloves before and during the proceedings. There are actually latex gloves sitting on a shelf 10 feet from the kitchen. And yet, I chopped and deseeded probably 15 mini peppers with my bare hands. My thumbs, middle and ring fingers BURN. I've tried soaking them in ice cream, yogurt (non-fat, dammit!) and olive oil and it only lasts until they rinse off. I'm most definitely not touching my eyes, but I burned my mouth accidentally. Lotion does nothing. If I touch my thumb to my mouth, it's spicy. I should have realized the problem when I started coughing while chopping the peppers.
Not sure how the peppers will turn out. There weren't enough peppers to fill the mason jar I used and it kept boiling and splattering as I poured it in.
Oh well. Live & learn, eh?
ETA: Lemon juice worked really well to cool the burning and baking soda worked even better. My hands stopped feeling like shit mid-Daily Show, though I appear to have actually blistered a finger. Oh, baking soda, is there anything you can't do?
