What I Wish I hadn't done Today!

[wellie]

Along the lines of what we all did today, having done simply loads of things that I wish I hadn't done today, I thought we might have a laugh and share them.....
Today, I found some chillies that I have dried, and I decided to get a pair of scissors and snip them into a jar...
Later in the day, when Trousers came home from work, we were sat in the conservatory, and Wellie decided to stick her finger in her eye.
Big mistake....

YOU?

Ouch!!!!! Hope you had some eye-drops handy!

Left the the beautifully roasted, corn-fed, expensive chicken out on the bench to cool before putting in the fridge...without checking the whereabouts of the cat... Stoopid beast must have tongue blisters now, coz it hadnt cooled very much! OH will be well chuffed to find out we're eating 'something & mince' all weekend now.

When turning 10lb of chicken breast into Jalfrezi for tonights match (10 friennds around), deciding to just throw in those last few chillies.

Very nice.............with a definate nuclear heat wave to follow. Oh well.

On the chilli note i remember as a young man trying to impress a lady with my culinary skills( lots of freshly prepared chillies, by hand). Got to say the romantic evening and food was great but the bedroom was a disaster. Will leave that one to your imagination !!!!

Cheap disposable latex gloves are really good for preparing chillies. That way you avoid nasty stinging sensations where you don't want them.

Re the chicken
I used to have a flat above the bookshop where I worked and my cats quite enjoyed visiting the bookshop. One lady intent on browsing didn't notice when my fiend Spotty had started in on a pack of chicken joints.
Don't worry, she said with a laugh, it's only for my husband....he'll never know....

Wasn't just the cat-spit though... He dragged it onto the floor, and my darling German Shepherd is in full moult...! Bleurgh!

All work stopped at the lottie today when I knocked the coffee jar over and it broke on the greenhouse floor!
Thats it says I, time to go home, can't survive without coffee!

That made my eyes water Minty.

Wellie, I did a similar thing a few weeks ago. I dried some chillies in my new dehydrator and then ground them up in the mortar thingy doo. Later (quite a lot later) I scratched my eye - wow very ouch. Spent 20 mins in the bathroom laughing maniacally with Madmax helping me bathe my eye (both hands covered in chilli dust). Two days later (and numerous hand washes) I was still being very careful - not to mention very glad I don't smoke any more. Will deffo use 'johnny gloves' (Madmax term) next time I am grinding down the chillies!!

Its a bummer wearing contact lenses too as you always forget what you've been chopping up for tea and then go and take them out. Ouch ....

If I'm doing anything with chillies I always wear the Johnny gloves. You've heard all the horror stories - - I promise you they're true
