One of the members asked me to tell Mishap 4 of the cooking saga so here it is.
That one was a funny one though not intentional. My mother in law had shared a corn side dish. I made it several times before. It was Thanksgiving at Mom's with galore of food. I had made my corn dish at Mom's. My family just loved that dish so when it was time to dig in and eat, they all started eating. My brother in law took a rather big bit of the corn dish and started choking, gasping, coughing and tearing up. One by one all the other family members were choking and gasping except my DH(Dear Hubby) who is from NM where the hotter the better. I was dumbfounded; they acted like they were being poisoned. I had yet to take a bite so just kept staring at my family. Finally one of my sisters' gasped out, "What kind of chilies did you use." knowing my family were wimps, I replied, "I used two cans and you know that stuff is mild." Her husband who was finally regaining his composure leaned over to his wife and whispered "Tell her to prove it." Rolling my eyes in absolute disgust, I walked over to the wastebasket to fish the cans and prove it. Of course, I looked first and it said jalapenos, HOT and I used TWO cans. Oops, and in all that time DH is eating and wondering what the hullabaloo was about. Needless to say, hubby ate it with relish and the others avoid it.
