Super Jalapeno
Yesterday my brother and Maggie arrived in Copenhagen, laden with gifts. Clothes, shoes, moon cakes, and some yummy gourmet hot chocolate powder - hooray! According to my brother, it was only a fraction of what my parents wanted to send over with them. I'm so glad he persuaded them not to give him fresh produce or livestock.
For dinner, I decided to use the leftover package of noodles from Clementine's Thai festival and made pad thai (and the mango salad) according to her recipes. Success! However, after chopping up one fresh jalapeno pepper, I began to feel a burning sensation in the quick of my thumb. I realized that the juice was soaking into my skin, and even after washing my hands, I could lick my thumb and taste intense spiciness. I'm not sure why Clementine didn't run into this problem - until it goes away I will pretend it is a super power. Don't talk back or I'll spice ya!

maybe because i have the calloused fingers of a chef..?
but seriously maybe becaue i washed my hands so often that day, dunno...
but glad you can replicate the recipes, yay!!!
Lemon juice seemed to do the trick, a couple days later. The good part is that I've learned to insert, remove, and clean a contact lens all without using my thumb. :)
