Re: Are you irritable?????????????
 

I was really irritable the last night in India.

Our host had us get up at 4 am to go on a nature adventure and we did not get back to the hotel until 13 hrs later--only to have to go to an Elders home for dinner at 8pm.

We didnt get to take a nap, David was awake and I was so cranky--I knew dinner was going to be another spicy meal that was going to kill me and Keith (the antacids we had we not working well at all and we were having chest pain at night due to the chili powder the put in many of their dishes)

No matter how much we told them it was killing us, it was still spicy!

Anyway I was cranky but I knew I had to go dinner or I would look ungrateful, after all they were trying to show their gratitude by fixing us this very thoughtful meal.

We arrived and everything looked wonderful and smelled great. The host handed me a plate and said

"We hope you enjoy this meal we made it especially spicy"
My eyes bugged out and then I smiled and said "thank you"

Ya know what Jeanie? I think a lot of them do not understand when you tell them it makes you sick.. I had the same problem with my best friends family. I would tell them and tell them... well finally one time I got real sick and they asked why I was sick... I yelled.. the food!!! They then said oh the food not sit well? I had told them so many times.. they just didnt understand.. after that they toned it down a bit... but they dont understand the meaning of spicy... so they dont know how to tone it down well at all...

You are so RIGHT!!!

We figured that out, because we were constantly reassured that "We'll take care of it" and it would remain the same--

Our host cooked for us the last day, it was delicious, but I knew it was going to kill us. He kept telling us that he cooked different and his food would not make us sick--well I asked him on the way to the airport how he made one of his dishes-

he said he used:

Lamb, Onion, Tarragon, Ginger and CHILI POWDER!!!!

I dont know how missionaries of the past lived through this stuff!

Re: Are you irritable?????????????
 

Oh I know... I have one recipe that my best friends dad gave me... it literally calls for 4 tbsp chili powder!!! Good Lord that would kill anyone!!!

Re: Are you irritable?????????????
 

I don't know. Guess you'd have to ask my wife.

Oh, wait. "Irritable"! Thought that said "irresistible".

Same answer, though! :lol

Well, I know I get grumpy if I don't get it!!! :toofunny

My pastor asked Sunday night for the church to go on a 28 day "fast food" fast (abstaining from).

I told him when he came in to the office on Mon., I'm behind him, but seeing as how he has to work with me all day, he might want to not consider Starbucks fast food, otherwise it could be a veeerrrrryyy long month! :toofunny :toofunny

Re: Are you irritable?????????????
 

That is hilarious.

I am sorry for your pain Jeanie, but stuff like that will make you laugh later (when you can't still vividly remember the pain)! :toofunny
