chillies!...will I ever learn???

[Nicos]

I've just been chopping up some really hot chillies to make a chilli and plum jelly.
Whilst the fruit juice is slowly dripping through the muslin I've cleared up the kitchen, done loads of washing up and scrubbed the plum stain off my hands and sat down for a cuppa.

then I had an itch in my ear

yup- I had a fair ol 'gratte' as the French say...(well not the 'fair ol' bit cos that's reet ooop norf speak)

...and then....


aaaahhhhh...ahhhhhh.... ahhhhhhh...

and it's still mega aaaahhhhhh 10 minutes later

You'd have thought I'd have got the gist of respecting chopped chillies after my episode a couple of winters back having nipped to the loo just after chopping some chillies

Clearly not

I've been to the toilet after chopping chillies up. Won't *ever* do that again.

[Tripmeup]

done the itchy eye one...not nice!!

[Bren In Pots]

I've not done it, up to yet that is but there's always a chance.

[mrswadders]

ok, I'll admit it...........................yessssssssssss
The one I always do is chop the chillis, clear up etc,etc the settle down with a packet of crisps sy and then lick my fingers, oooo not good when they're really hot chillis and you weren't expecting it!

As I never pick my nose, scratch my bottom, or stand with my hands down my trousers like the youth of today do. I can safely say I have never been inflicted with chilli hands.

I do find it helps not to chop chillies, a small hand blitzer is much safer. The ghost chillies I grew this year were finally eaten by the moch-y-coed, tough cookies they are.

Do you know Nicos - Touch wood I've never done it mainly because I remember you doing it, ta

[dandalady]

im always doing it. usually with nagas!!!!

[Farmer_Gyles]

i learnt my lesson many years ago .... i was young .... i used clove oil for toothache, then, as men do, scratched my itchy man parts .... sheer agony for hours .... wouldnt dare chop chilis with bare hands!
