get used to spicy food

I remember when I was a little girl and spicy food hurt. But I admired my dad and decided I wanted to like spicy food like he did. In time, I just got to a point where if I had an option for spicy vs. mild, I had to get my mouth on fire. It’s a great way to decongest when you’re all stuffed up! :D If it comes from peppers it’s a great reminder you are getting a great dose of vitamin C too!

I learned how to convince waiters that I really don’t want peppers, pepper flakes, pepper sauce or essence of pepper in Thai. Works 50% of the time.

Spicy food is the best. I’m not talking about Abu Grahib torture level spicy, just hot enough to feel it, and maybe get a tear or two. (Tears of joy) I even add spice to things like fudge sauce for ice cream. Trust me, it works. Grind up some dried chilis and add the powder to something like Hershey’s, mix it, and stick in the fridge. Then use it as you see fit!
