RaVae EricksonI got some banana peppers at work today (There was training in the training room at the truck yard where my office is and they let us claim any leftover food). I was SO excited! I LOVE banana peppers! So I loaded my plate and headed back to my office to enjoy a nice little snack…
The first bite was amazing! The perfect flavor. Perfect spiciness. Perfect in every way really. Gosh do I love banana peppers! Then I took a second bite…into the second banana pepper slice…HOLY HOTNESS! That was the SPICIEST banana pepper EVER! I thought I was going to die! So I drank some water and picked up another one…no really, that’s exactly what I did! Am I crazy? That one was JUST AS HOT! Again, I thought I was going to die…more water and then I did it again…I picked up just one more, hoping for that perfect flavor, perfect spiciness combination…I was duped again!
More water and then I took a break from what should have been the most amazing afternoon snack ever…That’s when I realized why they were so HOT…They were in the same bowl with the jalapeno peppers! Oh man am I dumb! And then I just lost my mind…
I couldn’t stand to see those beautiful banana peppers just sitting on my desk, so despite knowing what I now knew I tried another one with what small strand of hope I had left for that perfect bite…SUCCESS! It was amazing! And then I did it again, I picked up another one and took a bite…HOLY HOTNESS! That one must have been underneath a jalapeno, because it was HOT! Good thing there was only one left because I thought I was really going to die. My water bottle now nearly empty I bravely ate the last one, and IT. WAS. PERFECT! All this for banana peppers…wow. And now my water is gone. 🙂
