Cinco de Mayo

I was making green chili to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Using the awesome chilies called Dynamites from Colorado, I cut them up and added them to the pot.

I've had a unusual spring this year in that I have had allergies big time. I really suffered with them in Colorado but when I moved up here, they stopped. This spring they came upon me with a vengeance! Sneezing, scratchy throat, watery and itchy eyes, runny nose. Pretty much all of it. I was talking to dan and reached up to scratch my eyes, first one and then the other.

Uh, BIG mistake! I knew the minute I touched my eyes that I had screwed up! They felt like they were on fire. I spent a few minutes with my eyes closed before the heat subsided from the skin around my eyes.

I know this is a dumb thing to do. I just wasn't paying attention. Next time maybe?
