"I am a jalapeno on a stick!"

[fairyrune]

I really need to invest in some latex gloves. (No, not for that. Get your mind out of the gutter!)

Rich and I made burritos from scratch last night. My special recipe includes a jalapeno pepper, which I cut up by hand. I've done this several times, and every time, I manage to get acidy juice where I don't want it. One time, I was merrily chopping away, and the damn pepper was so juicy that it squirted right in my eye!

Last night I was super careful. I chopped the pepper without incident, placed it in the pan, and washed my hands. I thought I was free and clear, and more importantly safe, from the evil tasty burning acid.

Hours later, after consuming delicious delicious burritos and washing up yet again, I touched my eye. It BUUUUUUUURRRRNED! I was not pleased. Why must the delicious fruit hurt me so?

So I've decided to purchase some latex gloves before the next time I need to chop a hot pepper. I can get purple ones for fourteen bucks, but I'm fairly certain I could get less-pretty ones for cheaper elsewhere. I just have to find the powder-less kind, because getting glove-powder in your food would NOT be good eats.

Oh and I've officially added The Purple Store to "My Favorites" *grin*

Dude. The Purple Store is the most awesome-est invention EVAR. You want purple duct tape? They've got purple duct tape. You want REALLY expensive purple underwear? They've got REALLY expensive purple underwear.

Anything you want purple, they've got it. Even a $300 purple four slice toaster! Why anyone would want to pay that much for a toaster, I will never know, but they have it.
