Hot Peppers

Econo-Girl is economizing again. She pulls out her Martha Stewart magazines
to make scrumptious meals that will hopefully replace our culinary joy in
restaurants.

After her heart attack at the grocery store bill, Econo-Girl can only
surmise that most economists do not do their own grocery shopping.
Inflation is evident in the cost of food.

And so, she makes the family meal. And during the process she cuts a pepper
that seemed benign enough except after cutting it, Econo-Girl scratched her
ear and IT BURNED FOR OVER AN HOUR.

Some juice of the pepper must be smudged in her kitchen because in drinking
her coffee, Econo-Girl's LIPS BURNED from the coffee mug.

So now we understand why that pepper spray is so good. And eco-friendly as
well.
