The other night I experimented with two of the most delicious and painful-to-prepare ingredients: jalapenos and bacon. I decided to host a game night at my apartment for the Georgia game, which I soon gave up on, and make jalapenos stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and bacon. The jalapenos were extremely fresh as they were picked earlier that day from my mom's garden, and therefore very...potent. First I had to cut the peppers in half and seed them, and since my pairing knife was in use I abandoned all use of logic and seeded them by digging out the insides with my thumbnails. At first everything was fine and I continued to cook in blissful ignorance, at least being careful not to get my hands near my eyes. But then...the burning started. Imagine paper cuts underneath your finger nails, then set those paper cuts on fire - I was still feeling it 24 hours later! As to the other painfully delicious food, anyone who has ever cooked bacon knows there is a definite risk to frying it. In order to fry it, the pan has to get hotter, which produces more grease, which makes the bacon shoot HOT FIERY OIL AT YOU. So not only my hands burning, but now my arms and pants are covered in splatters of hot bacon grease AND Georgia lost the game.
On a good note, the jalapeno poppers were delicious!
