1910.0. "Be careful when cooking..." by WEFXEM::COTE (It looks like Fruit Loops out there!) Mon Oct 24 1988 12:39

    Poor aja, this must have hurt...
    
    Last night I got into a rare mood and decided to forego my usual
    Sunday night haute cuisine (pizza) and actually *cook* something!
    ("Now, where'd I leave that stove I had?")
    
    Most of you are familiar with my infamous "peppers from hell", and
    they were a key ingrediant in last night's Szechuan stir-fry.
    
    Having run into a couple of rather painful situations in the past due
    to touching various parts of my anatomy without THOROUGHLY washing
    my hands after handling these peppers (don't ask!), I scrubbed
    up and sat down to wait for the meat to marinade...
    
    Enter Bonker-begging aja. I noticed her doing the "ain't I cute?"
    act beside me, so I pointed my finger at her and she came over and
    sniffed it. Bad move...
    
    I seems the pepper oil (habineros) I used resisted soap and water
    a little more than I expected. Immediately aja started jumping about,
    and shaking her head back and forth and generally acting like she
    had something hot on her nose. I grabbed her and ran to the bathroom,
    intending to wash her nose, but she scratched and hissed and finally
    escaped to the studio.
    
    Well apparently the heat wore off pretty quickly as she calmed down
    in a minute or two.
    
    Even thought I know she was in pain (I washed my hands 4 or 5 more
    times and *still* got some oil in my eye taking out my contact lenses),
    now that it's over I kinda chuckle at her gyrations...
    
    No wonder the animals leave my garden alone!

    My mother had to replace a pair of contacts once due to hot peppers.

        .0 makes me think of what happened with Tas and the stove this
        past weekend.   He's at *that* age - 5 months - where he's big
        enough to get where  he  wants to go, but not yet smart enough
        to know where he shouldn't go.  
        
        Andy was cooking on top  of  the stove, but was warming plates
        in the oven.  He opened  the  oven  door to get at the plates,
        and of course, Tas wanted to see  what food was in the offing.
        Even though Andy said *NO* in a loud  voice,  Tas still jumped
        up on the door and immediately began to tap dance his way off!
        It wasn't hot enough to burn his paws, thank goodness,  but it
        sure was funny to see :^}

    Deja always gets up on the stove, but, only when it is off.  It's
    amazing how she knows the difference.
