I suck

John just worked all day on the house and errands and things that needed to get done. He was so proud of himself, and he really got a lot accomplished today. He just went in to clean the kitchen and make a dinner out of the leftovers that we have to make food with. Well, he decided on a delicious breakfast themed scramble, and spent close to an hour working on it in the kitchen. He kept bringing me pieces of things to try, and although I tasted a bit more spice than I usually like, I kept my mouth shut because he took the initiative to cook and was being really kind about it.

I need to state that I cannot stand spicy food. I actually really hate the pain in my mouth when I eat something hot, and spicy food always makes my stomach hurt and then makes me really nauseous. John loves spicy food. In fact, he eats so much spicy food that I think his taste buds may have actually burned off so that he cannot taste when things are spicy to a normal person.

He brought me in a plate me made up for me, full of a delicious smelling scramble with barbequed pork chops and potatoes and eggs and veggies. He put some mild Tostito's salsa on it for me and handed it over.

The first bite made my eyes water and my nose run. The second bite made my gums feel like someone had held a match to my teeth. The third made the insides of my lips feel like they were covering a hotplate.

I couldn't eat it. I told him it was too spicy and he swears he didn't put any spice in it and has no idea why it is so hot. He says he knows he used curry, but the only curry we have is savory and sweet, not the least bit spicy. (It's the kind I use for the sweet potato curry I make in the winters.) It takes like he doused the thing in Chipotle, it's a smoky kind of burn.

SO, now I'm an ungrateful wife and he feels like shit and I'm still starving, while my gut is trying to turn itself inside out.

Also, he's watching a cartoon that sounds like a porno. Apparently, Anime made for Spike TV is not only graphically violent but full of graphic cartoon sex. Awesome. I'm totally going to be able to finish writing an essay, now.
