OUCH!

Ok, so I've never really cooked or worked with jalapeno peppers, or any hot peppers for that matter! :) I've just stayed away, been too afraid that they would be to hot. But when a guacamole recipe calls for jalapenos, I thought why not try it? Just put in a couple thin slices...

So I am getting more comfy working with them and putting them in recipes. The stacked beef enchiliada calls for a sauce, but I wasn't going to make this kind of sauce, b/c I knew those peppers were SUPER hot and wasn't gonna use those. So I made up my own kind and used jalapenos. It calls to roast them and then put them in a container/cup and pour hot water over them.

I was thinking, ok, I can do this, no biggie, piece of cake! I can roast them suckers and then do the rest of what needs to be done! EASY!!! Right?

Roasted them and as I was roasting them I was noticing that my throat was starting to hurt, well, not hurt, but, I don't really know how to describe it. It's like after a sore throat, it's the raw feeling, but it didn't really hurt too bad.

Then I got them in the cup and poured hot water over them, they had to sit for 20 minutes. Again, no biggie, piece of cake, right? As I was pouring the hot water over them, my eyes started to hurt. Didn't think anything of it.

Then I looked over at them and my throat was all raw and hurt, and my eyes stung! I went to go talk to Curt and was like, I think I'm having a reaction to those jalapenos! So he was like go drink a cup of milk to see if that helps! I was like it's not hot, it doesn't hurt, but I was coughing... So I go get a cup of milk and it worked a little!

So if you do this recipe, be careful! For the next 24 hours, I was hurting! I mean it! I NEVER thought I would have a reaction to it, never crossed my mind, but I was wrong!

I never drank THAT much milk in so little time! I am not a big milk fan, only if I have oreos to dunk them with! It worked for a bit.... Just be careful, that's all I'm gonna say! :D

Confession from a Texan: I've never really worked/cooked with jalapenos either (except guacamole). Even then, I only use a teeny tiny bit and the rest of the jalapeno wastes away in the frig until it turns into complete mush, thus making it suitable only for the garbage. But your stacked enchilada recipe has me feeling brave, so I'm going to try it. However, I'm VERY VERY glad that I noticed your last post because I would never have considered the dangers of jalapenos (outside of food, that is).

you have to be very careful when working with peppers. If the juice gets on you, it can burn (never cut a pepper and rub your eyes). If the juice turns to steam, you're hosed.
I use a LOT of peppers and so I've burnt myself a few times that way.
They are good though....so good....

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m
