Ted did enjoy it. He says he is growing accustomed to the heat but he is still learning how to handle it. He inhaled on his bite and that is what made his mouth burn. He finally leaned how to eat it with his potato and then he was okay. He says he can not wait until I begin growing them and he can start to gain the medicinal effects of the peppers. He was excited to learn about the medicinal value when he spoke with one of his doctors and his doctor also told him that the spices and herbs I cook with alot will help him in more ways than he ever thought. It appears that I have a natural instinct as to what to add to my food that helps keep me healthy lately since I began experimenting to avoid salt. I am a good cook and not to toot my own horm but I have won many blue ribbons in many areas of cooking from candies to pickles. At least my mother was able to find something to pass on to me and then I just expanded that knowledge and now I am expanding it further and writing a cookbook about everything along the way.

I want a cookbook.

Now when you start handling the real thing, just be durn careful lest you put your partner off sex forever.

my wife is from trinidad. she loves the hot stuff. not nearly as much as I do, but she tries everything I make. I make sure she uses mouthwash before she does anything though. I do the same. made the mistake of forgetting once, just once. and I still hear about it.

Thanks for the advice though I find it hilarious. Ted is just a room-mate and my real boyfriend is Italian and Irish. He is out of the country for a while but he likes hot stuff. It will be 18 months before he returns so I am keeping busy with the garden and cooking and writing. Cookbook is coming and Dennis you will get a copy.
