I made Sparkly and Sparkly Jr cry last night [View All]

I made Singapore style curry noodles. Rice vermicelli, shrimps and calamari, garlic and ginger, spinach and bean sprouts and scallions, soy sauce and chicken broth, an egg, salt and pepper, sugar, and ........ hot curry powder.

As in Hot

Red Hot.

It was a curry I'd never tried before. From the Asian grocer.

Sparkly Jr picked out all the shrimps and calamaris that made it through her food filter and put 'em on my plate.

Then she chopsticked up a mouthful.

And cried.

Too hot, she said.

Sparkly ..... no food filter ..... similar sized chopstickful. Same reaction.

Sparkly Jr went for some milk. They both bathed their lips and tongues in it.

Then came back for more.

It got 'less hot' as they ate it.

Me? I was in seventh heaven.

It was real good!

And hot, too.
