What causes racial hatred: racists or racial friction?

If you have the stomach for it, eating a whole habanero is almost like peyote....it may make you retch, but you definitely see things, mostly stars...

Charming thought . . . i made killer guacamole once, low fat even (used non-fat sour cream, which actually mixes better with the avacado), finished product was from two to three quarts--i minced two medium sized habaneros and added them, and that damned dip was hot as hell (but not too . . . ) . . . i could also smell it on my fingers for days--even though i washed my hands constantly to get rid of it . . .

I wear contact lenses, and when I forget, and rub my eyes....hooooeeeeey!! Not pleasant at all.

Set, they got these little stainless steel doodad now that take the smell of anything off your fingers super presto. You can buy them in the housewares section of any department store -- AND THEY WORK.

Don't let anyone tell you they don't.

I cook with onions and garlic all the time -- and no more smelly hands for me.

Yeah, but Frank, i like all my fingers, an i wanna keep 'em . . .

Huh???

I was being obtuse . . . suggesting i might cut my fingers off . . . but in seriousness, i did mince them with a knife--but they're oily, and you get the oil on your fingers just by handling them.

You guys crack me up! Get rid of smelly fingers - by buying a knife. c.i.

It ain't a knife, ci. It is a stainless steel apple (for want of a better word.) You rub it on your fingers while holding them under running water -- and presto, the smell is gone.

Just one of those modern miracles that I wanted to share at an appropriate moment.

If thy hand offend thee....

you should put a glove on it

I misunderstood, Frank, i thought you were being sly--does it remove the top layer of dead skin? Good idea that . . .
