The Christmas List

We were at Milestone's restaurant the other night and son K took this photo of our shared dessert called 'The Cookie'.  There was a jalapeno or some other kind of hot pepper in our salsa which was a part of the appetizer.  I must've bitten into a seed, it was so painful until it finally wore off thanks to the ice cubes in my drink!  Has that ever happened to you?


I was talking to the friendly receptionist at the gym recently.  I asked him if he had his Christmas list all ready, and what did he ask his mom to get him.  He said 'I'm a little old for that now, but I want a car and a new girl'.  I said, 'what happened to the old girl?'  He replied 'I don't have one'.  I laughed and asked how old he was as it sounded just like what my 18 year old son would say.  He is 21.  These young men are all alike, lol.

I couldn't understand the pepper incident. I eat any hot food despite my hemorrhoids.

It can be quite entertaining talking to young people!

Next time you eat something really hot, try to get rid of the taste with bread or milk. They don't spread the heat the way water does.

I bit on a piece of coarse ground black pepper and it resulted in my getting a root canal.

That desert looks delicious! Oh yikes about the hot pepper, I love the flavor of spice, but I don't have a high tolerance for it.
