5 Minute Freewrite: Thursday - Prompt: runny
Img source
It's lunchtime and I had not brought anything with me to eat. I went to a little Mexican restaurant I had been wanting to try for a while. I order 2 street style taco, one with adsada and the other with grilled chicken for $4.10 Not too shabby for a quick lunch when you're on a tight budget.
I got my meal came back to work and saw some green chile sauce in a cup. I took the lid off to smell it and it did not have that acrid smell when it's a really spicy salsa. I figured that it would be safe for me to eat. I am allergic to capsaicin and most peppers. I can't even touch time. so being the highly intelligent person I am I just lightly dipped my finger in the salsa and took a taste. Instantly I had a runny nose, instant runny eyes, and my throat tightening.
YEP wrong type of salsa. I will have REALLY pink lips and a runny nose the rest of the day as my mouth burns. why do we do things like this? I used to eat green chile by the spoonful as a kid. Everyone told me it was hotter, I never knew the difference. I always thought it had better flavor.

Thank you for your continued support, Love
Next time be careful before having green chilly...I hope you enjoyed your running nose :)...Anyways Enjoy your lunch
It was yummy :)
Aww poor you. It's always advisable not to try what you don't know. Like me, no matter how peppery my food maybe, I will never try "Yoruba" stew. Take milk
I have no idea why I even tried it. I know better. I really miss it and there are a few that serve a mild that's awesome
.
My friend forgot to wear rubber gloves when cutting into one of those horrifically hot peppers. She ended up in the hospital with second-degree burns! I had sense to wear the gloves, but my bare arms got splattered as I cut the pepper. Luckily I got it rinsed off before the mild stinging turned into real pain.
Oh that sucks. My burns never got that bad, but I would spend hours with my fingers burning and had to make sure I did not touch my eyes or mouth. That's even with gloves. It really sucks. I make awesome salsa too.
Oh dear. Hope you are better by now.. Anyway, I bet that was a great lunch though...
I am. It didn't actually take long for it to pass. I used to take hours no matter what I did. It was perfect timing too. I try to get my Freewrite in during lunch and what happened to be the topic LOL
