Proud papa. LOL, he looked so confident before he took the bite, I loved that for him.Good on your son for taking that challenge!
I was just talking to a friend today about peppers. I went to a car show, and we met up there. It started raining and people left,, so we went into the cafe to have a burger, and chat. I had a burger with cheese and lettuce. He asked about why I didn't have tomato, onion and ketchup on my burger, like he did. I told him that I can't eat those items any more, which is pretty disappointing, because I used to eat food that had enough peppers that people wouldn't sit at the same table with me. You know those chili peppers that get put in the Kung Pao chicken? There was a restaurant that ground those peppers up and put it in a dish I liked to eat. One of my friends commented on how my face was so red while eating it, but it was really good, and I liked it a lot. Now, I'm paying the price, with a crazy hiatal sphincter problem. Now I'm hearing about Carolina Reapers and such. I missed my opportunity.
