Your Lesson For The Day
Dean
Here's a handy formula you may want to write down:
Finger food + Tabasco sauce + itchy eye = Danger. Very very danger.
You may want to stick it on your refrigerator to remind yourself. I know I will.

Dean's World uses and recommends:
I unscrewed the jar and got it open, unwittingly getting my fingers in the stuff. A few minutes later, I unthinkingly rubbed my eye.
OWWWWWW!!! Good thing there was an outdoors restroom near by.
To process the chili for use throughout the year, the pods are roasted (usually at the point of sale) in large wire mesh drums that rotate over a propane flame (to me this is the best smell of autumn). The chili is next dumped into plastic garbage bags and taken home. We generally let the chili rest in the plastic for several hours.
The next step is to bag the chili into usable amounts and then freeze them (we double bag in quart zip-locks; single bagging tends to leak when thawed). Depending on how much you buy, this can be pretty time consuming.
Not only do you have to be careful not to scratch your eyes, it's best to wear gloves to keep your hands from burning (not from heat but from the chili).
Extra Strength Ben Gay + Unwashed Hands + Need to Pee = Icy Burning Sensation on Parts of Anatomy that shouldn't be burning icy hot.
We don't have any finger food in the house, ya silly man. :-)
Warning Wash hands before using the restroom, thank you.
Personally, I'd have added between restroom and thank you, Screams of pain detract from other patrons enjoyment of their meal
paul, ya slay me. A sudent at that...hahahaha to everybody.
I must admit I did a hot thing and had not washed my hands before the restroom and I had tissue! Uwe!
And yes I am speaking from a bad experience with someone that opt'd for a quick rinse.
A few years ago, I was making a batch of dried cayenne pepper flakes, from a bunch of our garden peppers that had been dried. Stick 'em in a small food processor, pulse them a few times, be careful handling, but otherwise no problem, right?
I decided after running for a few seconds to inspect progress, and put may face directly over the open lid of the processor.
I don't suppose that I need say anymore.
Don't mistake the tube of Mentholatum Deep Heating for the KY lubicrant.
OUCH!
"My 2 cents:

Boy, have I made that mistake before, I have to admit!
I use "Dave's Insanity Sauce" when I make my chili. Took 2nd place last year in a chili cook-off. Just 1/4 teaspoon is ample when I make a 2 gallon batch (used to use 1/2tsp but was too blistering).
It is also good for stripping floors and removes driveway grease stains. It actually says that on the bottle.
Best to use one drop at a time. Shake well and good luck.

please recall folks that the day after can have the same effect in the nether regions...
which is why I call my chili recipe "the Afterburner".
We have a saying in my family to cover that... "Come on Ice-Cream!"
Think about it.
