snapping turtles of the pepper world

yeah, yeah...it's been a while. so here's the scoop: the article about my art show in the paper made me look and sound like a fucking rock star, the show went well (made $57 for the local food pantry), EMT class is going well so far (most of the class is composed of 19-25 year old kids, mostly good looking boys), and i'll never handle a habenero pepper sans the use of rubber gloves again.

here's a link about the show with pictures...

yeah, about two weeks ago i made some turkey smoked sausage-(which to my dismay, i found out the sausage was encased in pork skin) in a pepper blend. i chopped up some onion, green peppers and poured a mixture of pureed tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, and a quarter sized amount of finely minced habenero pepper. i have never handled this kind of pepper before, and didn't wear gloves. my hands BURNED for 3 and a half fucking hours. i didn't bother putting my contacts in, because i was afraid if i touched my eyes i would go blind.

vinnie later told me that habenero peppers are the 'snapping turtles' of the pepper world.

all in all, life right about now is a big booty in some tight pants--simply gorgeous.
