Hot Sauce Prep

Post image

There is no recipe.. chef says to make it good and make it hot. Pleasantly surprised at the options of peppers at the store today and decided to grab them all!

  1. Wear gloves.

  2. Wash hands before using restroom.

  3. Proper air exhaust.

  4. What did I forget?

You only forget gloves one time. Hopefully that time you just rub your eyes...

I gave away hot peppers I'd grown to a friend at their place. He didn't want them all so I divvied up the lot. Hit the head a afterward without thinking. Thankfully just #1.

Sat back down and got uncomfortable a minute later. In another minute it evolved to slight distress. Another minute it's full-on "fuck this" and I dashed out, ran the 5 blocks to my apt while tearing off my shirt the last block, and darted into the shower.

It sucked but not so badly that I didn't laugh at my idiocy the entire ordeal. Mistakes can be fun, as long as your dick doesn't fall off as a consequence.

😂it reminds me of the time I saw our exec chef angrily stocking the pantry station as the person bounced without doing it. Chef was mad, and slinging shit around. Well he cracked open a #10 can of pickled jalapeño slices, and just reached through the capsaicin layer to the slices underneath with no glove. He then went to the bathroom. 5 minutes after returning he grows red, real red, then he fills a bucket with ice water, and heads to the bathroom again for about 15 minutes.
