i've always felt you can burn the impurities from your body

One of those days that when I get home, I am going to dump a pile of cayenne pepper powder on my food....so much that it hurts alittle bit going down. so much that my wife can smell it from accross the table and start sneezing....so much that I'll instantly start sweating on my forehead and on the back of my neck. If there were a record for cayenne pepper, i'd own it tonight.

Crazy as it is, thats what will make me feel better.

I'll say the exact same joke that I've said for years too. 'Boy Honey, these noodles sure are spicy.' as if they came like that. as if they were supposed to be red and not pale yellow.

I used to use Hot Sauce, but I'd put so much on my food that the sodium would keep me thirsty for days.

Just a shitty day, and i'm hoping to sweat it out. If you put enough on, you'll forget about everything else. I promise.

I swear by sriracha and I know exactly what you mean. I hope tomorrow is better.

Ooo, I second the sriracha.

My indian friends used to make the food so hot that we'd have to open the doors and windows to their apartment, and stand in the hallway until the pepper cleared the air.

I have the recipes, if you need them.

Your Christianity is showing!

Sounds like you've got your own form a asceticism going on. You know, like flagellation as a form of penance - but with hot sauce.

I've never heard of sriracha, but I will have to try it!

Birdy, you nut. While I certainly deserve the punishment, it's the rush of endorphines that come with the heat that I love. A little spicy doesnt do it, a mountain of spicy will change your evening.

Well, according to Wikipedia, flagellation "...may have been used to obtain altered states of consciousness for the goal of experiencing religious experiences or visions; medical research has shown that great pain might release endorphins which can have such effect..."

so do I really believe I deserve the punishment or do I just enjoy it?

or am I just another weirdo?

Sriracha is the nectar of the gods. It's like Thai ketchup only way awesomer than ketchup.
