Gimme A Break

We had a super spicy roast chicken for dinner tonight. The kids are still in chili training and they’re making good progress, thanks to Mom .

The restaurant we were at used to charge an arm and a leg for drinks. But apparently, they’ve recently wised up and decided to offer bottomless drinks (or fire extinguishers, to use our term of endearment) so that diners with unseasoned tongues would still be able to enjoy their meal.

So what’s wrong with this idea? We love it. There’s nothing wrong except that if your tongue is on fire, a cold drink will not help one bit to douse your fire.

The trick, to put it bluntly, is to fight fire with fire. So what you need is a hot drink. Take a few sips and you’ll feel instant relief. Ahhh! Try it!
