If you can't stand the heat...
Let me start this by saying that I love to cook, and generally speaking I'm very good at it.

One of my specialties is gumbo, though I also do a very good chili. I can also brew up a spaghetti sauce that will make you jump around and go "Woo!"

Some of my friends, and both of my sons, profess to liking their food spicy. I'll make something with a bit of a kick to it and they'll tell me it's too mild.

Never say that to a cook.

Did you know that chipotle powder will make a person howl and grab for water if you sneak some into their bowl? Now you do.

For extra fun I take a bowl out of the same pot (without the chipotle) and eat it, smiling, with an untouched beer within reach...
