Too Hot To Handle

I have never eaten a hot chili pepper in my life.And I never will.
I came as close as I ever did yesterday at East New York Farms annual Hot Chili Pepper Eating Contest.
East New York Farms Project organizes youth & adults to address food justice in our community by promoting local sustainable agriculture & community-led economic development, & yes I just copied that off their website www.eastnewyorkfarms.org

I woke up in the morning thinking, "Yeah, I can eat hot peppers...if I get drunk enough!" Turns out I can't get that drunk.Plus, my breakfast of a chicken patty topped with melted mozzarella cheese(& a dash of white pepper) gave me some serious stomach pains.Imagine if I ate a hot pepper?
The guy who won, Alba, looked very familiar to me.I think I went through Central Booking with him.(If I didn't I apologize, Alba.)

I hadn't been to Brooklyn in months & had a good time with the friendly folks there.Maybe next time I'll work up the courage to actually eat a pepper!
