My Blue Cheese Is

Since I'm vegan and don't eat any meat I say I hate jalapeno peppers because of their heat making my tongue, throat and sinuses feel like their on fire needing a fire extinguisher to put out the pyre, I'd jump up and fan my face for relief thinking this will help get rid of the heat then run to the sink to douse the flame with my eyes and face all red making me look insane, Making me realize I can't handle eating these hot peppers now much preferring the kind that are mild tempered yes after this bad experience I now have it made avoiding jalapeno peppers as if they were the plague. 1-7-17

I love peppers but if they are being sautéed they just about kill me! Enjoyed your spicy write in its antithesis!!

How funny. I Love those things!! The ones with cream cheese around them. For me, that tempers the heat of the peppers and they do not seem so hot. Great job, Cheryl.
