So the wife goes out last night, taking one of the rabbits we’ve just rescued from a Wal-Mart parking lot to the vet for a checkup, and won’t be home until late. Fine by me, as that means I can:
-
eat something for dinner that would disgust her
-
watch “The Name of the Rose” on Bravo
-
start doing my taxes
So, with reference to 1) above, I decided to make a plate of nachos, using some of my own refried black beans and some great queso fresco I got the other day. While I’m doing this, I notice I’ve got a bag of fresh habaneros in the crisper, just begging to be eaten, as so many of us are.
I cut up two into rings and scatter them piquantly about the voluptous beans, the sassy cheese, and the insouciant cilantro.
Mind you, I know exactly what I’m getting into here, as I’m a major-league chilihead-grow my own, and have been told that when I die, they’re going to use my blood as paint stripper from all the capascin.
So I have my nachos, watch Connery and Slater, itemize my deductions, feed the rabbits cilantro off the plate.
As I’m finishing, I feel the need to offload the two San Miguel Dark lagers I’ve consumed in the course of the yelpingly hot nachos. I go to the bathroom, and only too late do I realize that
I’ve forgotten to WASH MY HANDS after handling the habaneros.
That was last night. I’ve showered twice. I’ve put aloe on it (and my hands). It’s subsided to a slow, not unpleasant burn, but for a few seconds there, I was convinced the Inquisition was taking place in my boxers. (St. Joan of Dick!)
So, my question is…have any other Dopers experienced “Hunan Hand” like this, and if so…what’d you think?
