WTF is Nigel eating

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I'm not technically actually EATING it right now, but I just canned 12 jars of green chili and am working on the second batch. It's fuck of spicy, and now my fingers are very spicy too, despite great handwashing, which I confirmed accidentally by rubbing my eye.

I should get some jars for storing my delicious spicy things... I love making stuff like chili and salsas (salsas especially; I love experimenting with them).

Canning food is one of the most dorktastically rewarding things there is... you have all these jars of pretty foodstuffs lined up and can feel all self-sufficient and survivally and shit.

  I think I found a new hobby for this summer, along with brewing.

SHITYEAH!

I want to learn to pickle meat. Like, spicy pickled sausages and shit like that.

Oooh... this is making me hungry despite the warring forces of chicken tikka masala, potato samosa, and laem baked chicken that are currently at war in my guts.

Ohhhh I want chicken tikka masala! I just ate a chicken basil garlic sausage braised in the Worst Beer On Earth, Old German. It's fine for braising though.

There's this place at my school's main campus that has Indian, Chinese, and sushi, and I'm there for lunch twice a week. Also, there's a place called the Curry Club that has a (relatively) inexpensive lunch buffet about five minutes drive from the campus. There is a LOT of cheap curry floating around in my system because of these places. I am going to be a very sad panda if my digestive tract loses its strength.

The failure of my indomitable digestive tract has been a major fear of mine for decades.

I fear the downfall of the Imperial Digestion... not out of any sense of ego or desire to feel that I am stronger than the man next to me, but because I am an abusive keeper of my tubes. The barbarians are at the gates every single day: red meats, fats, hot sauces... you name it, and my system keeps it at bay. But when my armies of enzymes grow weak and the walls come crashing down, there will be no survivors. Every injustice I have ever inflicted upon my digestion will come rushing back in a wave of karmic retribution that this generation has not ever witnessed before, nor shall they witness such glory again.

If it happens in 2012 that'll be kinda funny though.

I am a firm believer in the concept that the more horrific foulness you can throw at your digestive system, the stronger it will become. In particular, food that's questionable. Old sausages. Things that have fallen on the floor. Unwashed raw garden vegetables. Things you found on the beach.

Urg that sucks. Anyone know if there's a trick or something to get the capsaicin off your fingers and hands? Washing with soap doesn't seem to do the trick.

And sometimes you need to put in your contacts later in the evening, and even if you remember the spicy, how the fuck are you going to manage that?

After the eye incident I washed my hands first with baking soda and then with vinegar, and that seemed to do the trick.

Like dissolves like. A nonpolar molecule dissolves best in a nonpolar liquid. Since capsaicin is an oil, water doesn't help much. Try alcohol, vinegar, etc.

This morning for breakfast I made spicy cabbage soup, which is like so:

2 strips of bacon
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cups of chicken broth
2 cups of diced tomatoes
2 cups of water
1 head of cabbage, shredded
2 teaspoons of chili flakes (adjust for spiciness)
Salt to taste

Cook up the bacon in the bottom of your big soup pot. Remove and set aside, then brown your onion and garlic. Add the broth, tomatoes, and water, followed by the cabbage, chili flakes, and salt. Crumble the bacon and add that, too. Simmer for about 40 minutes.

While I was waiting for it to cook, I sauteed some onions in butter, sliced a bit of top round (lean, flavorful, good for eating raw) and drizzled the butter and onions over it, then lightly salted it. People with normal digestive systems would probably want to sear the meat first.

Then I ate a grapefruit.

I'm content.

Oooh, yummy.
