I found a chili recipe that uses fresh jalapeno peppers, so I thought I'd try it. My garden this summer had a very productive pepper plant, and I have been stowing them away in the freezer. I made the chili and threw in five (chopped) peppers, but forgot about "jalapeno hands". I did not wear gloves, so I suffered from burning hands for a few hours. This made me think the chili would be too spicy to eat. This is where you might think I am going to write about gastric distress. And this is where I am glad to say that there was none, because the chili was spicy, but perfectly so.
