Blogable: International Hot and Spicy Food Day
I have a Life of Fred calendar. It’s pretty sweet. Almost every day is a holiday. How can you go wrong with that? Plus, Laura drew it, and she’s spectacular.
The other night, we were fussing with the new TV. Mike had bought a special “how to tune your television” DVD for the last TV, and it was getting a new chance on a new device. The voice from the DVD told us, in a slightly condescending way, how to adjust the brightness and the contrast and the color and the over scan and all that other jazz. I hope he would approve. He made me feel like, if he didn’t like it, he might take our TV away from us.
So, that DVD took quite a long time. I mean, he had to explain over and over again how we are stupid, television manufacturers are idiots, and he is a super-genius. Next thing you knew, it was rather late to be considering home made dinner. So, we ordered boneless wings from Wing Street (a.k.a. the other half of Pizza Hut).
They were quite spicy. I got spicy BBQ, which Mike simply couldn’t handle. I love the spiciness of doom. His wimpy pallet insisted upon the “mild” variety of Buffalo flavor. Of course, that turned out to still be too spicy for him.
Wimp.
As we were cleaning up after dinner, I looked at the calendar to find out what the holiday might be, and apparently, at least according to Laura and Tom, it was, in fact, International Hot and Spicy Food Day.
Sweet!
…by which I mean “How appropriate!”
…and I suppose I could have substituted with the more appropriate:
Hot!
that is really funny. i’m with mike though. i like the mild stuff so i probably failed on that holiday completely.
I was wondering when you’d read this :)
I may have to celebrate it annually. I love me some hot and spicy!
