Well, I tried to sleep in today knowing full well I need the extra rest to get over this cold. UnfortunateIy my body was not a willing participant in the rest department. I was up at 7am this morning. I hate it when I get sick. At least my throat doesn't hurt as much as it did yesterday and my body is no longer achy. I spent as much time as I could resting throughout the day.
For dinner I made a Southwestern Chili Corn Soup with lots of hot peppers. Luckily the peppers opened up the sinuses. The problem with using hot peppers is the heat factor. You have to be very careful how you handle hot peppers - if the capsasin gets on your hands it can burn the skin...not to mention anything else you touch. The last couple times I used hot peppers I didn't wear gloves while choping them and had burning fingers the next couple days. Tonight I wore a glove on the hand that handled the peppers. The glove was a little too big for my hand so I had difficulty keeping the tips of the glove out of the knife's way. Don't worry, I didn't get any vinyl in the soup. The soup turned out rather nice for all.
As always,
TOO
