Serious warning

If you use Tabasco for your food make sure you have washed your hands before you even think about rubbing your eyes...
I just rubbed my right eye and spent the next 10 minutes with my face under the faucet, letting water run over my open eye to dilute the tabasco and diminish the pain..
Eye is as red as those of the little guys in my icon :(

Dito when you prepare small hot peppers or chilis. I learned that the hard way, too years ago.

OUCH! I guess that doesn't inspire you to spend MORE time in the kitchen, does it?! BTW, what does your user name mean? It's not a name or word common over here, and I was wondering.

It's Irish-Gaelic and means Dawn or Daybreak. :)
Before I was returning to school and while I had still my old job, I learned Irish-Gaelic as a foreign language, just for fun.
I am lucky to have a little school within one hour train ride from where I live where you can learn all 4 Celtic languages. Much fun but horribly difficult language! :)
I loved it, but had to quit eventually, at least for the time being, because it got in the way of learning for my 'real' classes...

That's really neat! I wish I was fluent in another language. I took Spanish in highschool, and some in college, and loved it. I can understand a lot more than I can speak. But I wish I had minored in it and become better at it than I did.
