Senior Cook
This one belongs in the special diets category, but there is no category for it. When I look at recipes for various things, I keep bumping into my nemesis the chili pepper. Courtesy, of the USAF and south east asia. It is a case of I love the food but it does not like me. Sometimes, it is 3 days of zantac and hurry up gas-x. The problem is not with the stomach or mouth, but with the lower tract, and when I am particularly sensitive even tomatoes are out. Sometimes I can be adventurous, but it is really not a good idea. I grit my teeth when the waiter says there is only a little, the idiot does not understand human allergies, any is too much. Being lazy and a fairly good cook, I would love to go to the baking/cooking aisle in the grocery story and buy a nice mix of spices, like cavender's greek, etc. and use it but too many otherwise good mixes read like a devil's inferno of noxious substances. Well, I guess I am left with mixing up my own, or buying the mixes and hoping there is none of the evil witch brew in it.
