Thanks!
We’ll find out tomorrow. ..

Yum Nam or sumpin...
That’s the way Thai food works. It blows your mouth off, your body goes through all kinds of stress reactions, and after a few minutes your lips feel like a dentist has numbed them.
And then you eat the next bite, and the next... It’s crack on a plate.
Which one is the ghost chili?
Does anyone know where Sriracha is on the scale. I’ve started to enjoy that over Texas Pete.
Oh, it was definitely Crack.
Even though I ordered the large, which is 7/11 Big Gulp size, I wanted more.
But, dinner will be served around 6 and I love tamales too.
If you like East Indian food, try to find a reliable restaurant and order something spicy off the menu. My favorite is Chicken Masala or just about any dish they make with chicken in it.
There’s a place in Sunnyvale that has one of the best lunch buffets for Indian food.
Their buffet is as good as anything you’d order plated.
Clean, clean place and very attentive on service, even though they are buffet.
They’ll keep refilling your coke, tea and coffee until you leave. They don’t ask either.
You look away and wonder when the refill came.
Naga Jolokia.
The Ghost Pepper.
Is that the Tumeric Restaurant?
Local Safeway has started carrying “Mrs. Renfro’s” salsas. I am addicted to their Ghost pepper salsa. Delicious flavor and it will light up your mouth something fierce. I dump it on a hard boiked egg for breakfast and watch my wife cringe.
Blue Mango off of Coleman is one of the best Thai places. Thai Jasmine next to Santa Clara University is also good. Just ask for them to make the food "Thai Hot". When I would ask for it that way, I would usually still need the bowls of extra chile to spice it up the way I like it.
Adelita's Taqueria on Curtner and Leigh. They make awesome hot salsa and their carne asada torta (sandwich) is to die for.
I'm a bonafide chile head. Part of it is that I have roots going back four hundred years in New Mexico so I have a natural affinity for chiles and you can build up a tolerance over time. I used to struggle with habaneros but I've eaten three today. I also buy the ghost chiles at Sprouts here in Arizona and I can take it but only eat one per sitting so far. There is an even hotter chile called the Carolina Reaper but they're hard to find. I haven't had the flu since 1986 and I think my chile diet has something to do with it.The main thing I miss about the Bay Area are the restaurants. If you like spicy real Chinese food, I recommend Chile Palace (Hunan style) and South Legend (Szechuan style)--both are next to San Jose in Milpitas.
My hair is soaking wet by the end of a spicy Thai meal.
Yes, it’s crack on a plate! When I eat Thai, I crave it for days afterward. Doesn’t matter what dish I get. I CRAVE it the next day and the next... I’d swear it’s laced with some addictive substance.
I always tell them I don’t want Thai hot for white people—I want the real thing. At my favorite Indian restaurant, the owner’s son told me he doesn’t even eat anything that hot. I said if you ain’t sweating; you ain’t eating right. ;)
