Thanksgiving Fail.
If you've never experienced it, I hope you never have to.
I decided to try some new things Thanksgiving dinner this year and one of the things happened to be wine braised carrots with chili and cumin. I wanted to kick things up a notch because I thought the spicy would go with the sweet for the apple & pear glazed Cornish hens I'll be roasting so I bought RED JALAPEÑOS.
Getting a head start, I was prepping tonight and dicing these hot red peppers and right on time, I start my period. I wash my hands and go to the bathroom to insert my menstrual cup and about halfway in, I realized what a grave mistake I just made.
My vagina was on fire. After writhing on the bathroom floor followed by a string of profanities, I gained control of myself, re-washed my hands, took three big breaths and decided to finish what I started.
Another huge mistake. Goodness gracious, great balls of fire, Hell itself was existing right in between my legs. Wracking my brain for any decent ideas, I crawled my way to the kitchen and spoon in hand, scooped a hefty dollop of Greek yogurt, right up the chute!!
I feel better now but I'm pretty sure that was a close call. I almost died.
So, just a heads up, if you didn't know this (and I should have known. I'd be lying if I said this kind of thing hasn't happened before) capsaicin-the spicy stuff, does NOT wash off.
So Happy Turkey Day everyone and be safe!
