Too bad I didn't know how much you love hot things last night. I made
green chili pork stew. Unfortunately, the green chili my folks have me
was incendiary. After one bite the burning feeling in my mouth was so
strong there was no hope of tasting anything else. Husband and son who
both love hot things more than me both said it was too hot the eat and
enjoy after a couple of bites. No amount of tomatoes could calm it down
enough to enjoy and actually taste. It ended up feeding the garbage
disposal.
