THIS is why I don't cook...

YES, I chopped up about sack and a half of various kinds of peppers tonight. The freezer was woefully lacking in small bits of spicy things and the farmers' market has finally started getting them in

Let me refer you to the time I posted this same thing only it wasn't my eye.

Warning: Don't touch anything else on your body that might have some other external surface besides normal skin. REALLY.

Oh dear... that had to be... uncomfortable.

Peppers can be a bitch. Milk will sooth the burn (while water won't) but it's worth it to get those thin plastic food service gloves for chopping/seeding them. Because if you think your eyes burn, imagine having a chef boyfriend who forgot, then got .... frisky with your nether regions.

Yeah.

Once, he did the same thing w/ himself, then went to go pee, a few minutes later, he had to dunk his junk in a bowl of milk.

I'm having this very, VERY cracked out mental image of you sitting in a bowl of milk... and your kitten deciding that she wants some. It's... odd, to say the least.

And yeah, I've got gloves... and now I know better.

O_o! Ouch! *winces* I remember how that feels...

I also found out that soap doesn't do anything to get rid of pepper/chili juice on your hands - wash your hands with fresh lemon juice and then water! XD

Yeah, that's one of the many reasons I don't cook anything except eggs or pasta.
