Spicy Food

I used to be a solid 8, but during a temporary round of certain medications which made me about a 2, I lost the tolerance for heat. So I guess I am a 6 now.
 

I enjoy eating very spicy food but usually regret it the following day!

Now about those cherry peppers!

Buy a nice bottle of pickled hot cherry peppers with an equal amount of red and green peppers in the bottle. Drain and core the peppers, stuff them with a small amount of your favorite meatball mix and bake them in a 350 degree oven for approx. 30-40 minutes and serve as a holiday appetizer. If you have any leftover toss them into the freezer and add them to your next batch of spaghetti and meatballs. These are not super hot, about like a medium hot chicken wing.
 
I'd say about 8. I put Tabasco on a lot of things that I eat. I don't like some peppers that make my lips burn for half an hour after eating, or that burn my mouth so bad that I can't taste anything else.

If you like hot foods, try adding some cayenne pepper to a batch of store bought brownie mix. I'm terrible about measuring things, but guessing about half a teaspoon to the package. Better yet, experiment and add it to taste. I love the sweet-hot flavor and it always seems to be a hit at parties.
