heck yeah, i'm gonna eat that

so apparently my taste buds are entirely screwy. Case in point: jalapeno peppers, with a Scoville rating of 2,000-8,000, and i could barely eat a popper covered in cheese and crust and ranch dressing when i lived in texas. while, of course, M would happily crunch them down straight. Now? There are still no jalapenos on this continent. What there are instead is the african red devil pepper, rated at between 50,000 and 175,000, and i barely notice them - i can smell the pepper in the air when i cook with them, but it's awfully vague, and the flavor and the oomph is not what one would expect from a rating that high. we went to an indian restaurant and i said to make it hot for me and they did, i guess, apparently, because M tasted it and i think it nearly made him cry, and it was delicious but not spicy.

This is the long way to say that i made red beans and rice and that i have a sheer yawning gap where i ought to have an idea of how salty it is. I only put in two of the peppers, though ...

Being pregnant is still weird. (Further bulletins as events warrant. Don't like pickles yet.)
