Decided to make some stuffed peppers that my neighbor brought me. They're really not hot and the kids love them. Sliced and cleaned under cold water, finished, and the pbr kicked in. Took a quick bathroom break, washed up and went bac.....holy $%@#. I broke the number one rule of working with peppers. Great balls of fire. I couldn't feel my legs. Walking around the cave with an ice pack in my briefs and trying to cook.

I know, I know. Pics or it didn't happen. ..I'll spare you.

    Sounds like something is cooking and it isn't on your Egg. Thanks for not sharing pics. X_X I'll take your word that it happened and hope I always remember to take proper precautions.

    Lol, at least it was a #1! I had diarrhea shortly after eating really spicy tacos, and, well... I hopped right in the shower.

    Like watching those guys that fall on their crotch trying to ride hand rails on their skateboard, my legs involuntarily crossed and I winced in pain just thinking about you while reading this. Not good. 

    Hope the peppers turn out better than their effect on the chef.

  • Yep, I'd say some Eggs were cooking!!!!  

    Unfortunately, I've been there!  Years back was meeting the parents of a mistake of a girlfriend from Louisiana, and was given the job of prepping peppers.  Well, we had a little rondesvouz while dinner was cooking and we were both cooking ourselves as well!!

    Like I said, mistake of a girlfriend!

  • My first go at making hot sauce was probably in the top ten worst days of my life...I invaded Iraq, but this was much hotter, and in worse spots!

    Done it before too.Mine occurred when the Mrs called me to come pick her up at work. Took a quick leak before I ran off to get her. Hit me about three minutes later. Another 10-15 to get home and get in the shower. Won't ever do it again.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    The best fix I found is pour bourbon. ..in a huge glass. Drink and repeat as needed.

    Tony it could have been worse. You might have been eating Cheetos and been painted orange as well.

    @GalanteNate_OneEa‌ I know, you weren't bragging...but you can if you want. I didn't serve and I so appreciate those who did/do. That's why we all get to sit here on a Sunday night and talk about outdoor cooking. Cause of folks like you. Sorry to hijack the post...I still think henapple's pepper story is funny.

  • nothing funny about a peppered peter burn
  • My friend had unprotected anal sex with a woman he had just met. The next day he had severe burning in the tip of his penis and believed he'd contracted an STD. He went to the clinic and the doctor removed a jalapeño seed lodged in his penis. The woman had eaten nachos the previous day.
