LOL Dave. He sounds like my ex-husband. My father was growing tiny
Thai chillies in a terra cotta pot. My ex- didn't believe anything that
small could be firey hot. Dad, Mom and I warned him but of course he
knew better! He plucked one off the bush, popped it in his mouth and
chewed... I don't think I've ever seen anyone's face turn that shade of
red before. Since I wasn't in any mood to help him out, I handed him a
glass of cold water. Heheh.
