Arg.

Today I and a brother went out to Zestfest.  Zestfest is a trade show about spicy food, mainly.  I got out of the house (without kids!) and met up with a brother.  We had lunch at the hotel I used to work at, saw three people there I used to work with (it was 15 years ago) and then went to the show.

I like trade shows, I don't know why but I like them.  We were trying salsas and condiments and fudge and toffee and horseradish and I forgot what else.  After awhile my mouth couldn't really taste half of the spicy stuff anymore.  I started cutting back then, my brother tried one that I said no to.  If you try it you get a sticker that said "Yep, I'm stupid.".  They weren't kidding.  The first ingredient on this sauce was habanero and the fourth was capsaicin.  That bastard was hot.  He tried it and then his voice was lost and he started sweating.  That went on for about 20 minutes; he even drank some milk to get rid of the burn, didn't really work out that well.  As we left I bought some fudge, a big piece of it.  Then I ate the whole thing.

When I got home I had dinner of course.  I'm stuffed; I don't feel that well as in that chemical symbol to the side is the symbol for Pepto-Bismol, I don't feel well.
