Fun with Jalepenos

Talking or rather listening to Shirley, my annoying co-worker, talk about the stir-fry that she was going to make for supper got me thinking CHINESE FOOD. It's had been ages since I had eaten any (I refuse to think of the stuff we can get around here as Chinese food) so of course, I had to make some. Now, I can't get fun things like lotus root or good tofu but I can still make a few favorites such as egg and tomato with chive, lettuce and beef with pepper. Can't find many varieties of peppers around so I decided to cook with jalapeno. It's not really that spicy and the beef tasted pretty damn good.

You know the jalapeno is good when your hands start to burn from the oil that the pepper has emitted and mine were burning quite nicely. I managed to remember to keep those digits away from my face and eyes but what I had forgotten, was that the cats really like to lick fingers, especially after eating. Poor Baily, she got in one good lick, twitched her whiskers while the oil soaked in and promptly had a hissy fit. I felt bad but couldn't help myself from doubling over from laughter. Guzzling water had no effect and there was no way that I was offering my beer. Schell's is just too good to waste on a cat.
