Texas conversations on spice; was: Spicy or hot

[Guest guest]

LMAO! Reminds me of something that would be on

King of the Hill.

 

I'll never forget the time i was living in Hawaii

and i had a pepper bush in my yard. I don't know

what kind they were, but they were tiny as the end

of your pinky and bright red. Our Veitnamese friends

knew what they were. One day they came over for lunch

and made a yummy noodle soup. They told us to

take one pepper and pinch it, and then drop it in the

soup to add flavor. i did... then i took one sip, and

ouch-cha-cha, it was so hot! i instantly grabbed my ice

water and chugged it. Unfortunately i had just rinsed

my fingers off in that glass after pinching that pepper,

so it was no help for me. *lol* We all had a good laugh

over that.

A word is dead

When it is said,

Some say.

I say it just

Begins to live

That day.
