Traveling Welcome Wagon
Oh yikes, I can imagine!Barbara L ....speaking of wasabi.....
One evening I was at a restaurant with some friends. We were eating appetizers, Karen, who was sitting across from me picked up a whopping forkfull of wasabi thinking it was avocado. As she saw the inside of her nostrils she coughed and blew that big ball of fire across the table where it landed on the floor behind me.
We still tease her about that night.
My daughter just told me something she did when her youngest, Hannah, was (I think) around 9 months old. They were on their way to Las Vegas to see her in-laws. Hannah got fussy, and Nancy realized that she was hungry. She grabbed the container she had put cottage cheese in and gave Hannah a spoonful of it. Hannah spit it out and got really fussy. Nancy tried another spoonful and another, with the same results. She was determined to get Hannah to eat. Then she realized the cottage cheese looked kind of funny (they were in the car so it wasn't real light). She looked closer and smelled it. She was giving Hannah horseradish! Poor kid!
