My Turn For Meming

Four TV shows you love to watch: Daily Show, Firefly, South Park, SG-1.
Four places you’ve been on vacation: France, New Zealand, Ireland, Barcelona.
Four websites you visit daily: Carpetbagger, Kos, Josh Marshall, Boing Boing.
Four of your favorite foods: My wife’s stewed rabbit over fettuchine, Mexican-style wet burritos, habanero peppers with the seeds in, unagi (eel sushi).
Four places you’d rather be: The Sharp Edge Beer Emporium, New Zealand, a certain hacienda in the Sandia mountains of New Mexico, anywhere that you find vineyards.
Four albums you can’t live without: Yo Yo Ma, Cello Suites Inspired by Bach; The Battlefield Band, Happy Daze; Eliades Ochoa, Sublime Illusion; Various Artists, Reconquista: the Latin Rock Invasion.

It helps to check whether somebody’s already been tagged. Post in the comments if anybody else has gotten this more than once.

Holy Christ, dude. You eat habaneros with the seeds in?
I’m bowing to you.

Well, I usually cook them in something. I don’t have that much of a problem eating them by themselves, but it’s just not that much fun.
The only time I really had to call on my inner strength to eat something was some wings made by a bar in New London, CT. DOn’t remember the name of the bar, but if anybody else has ever eaten five of those bastards in one sitting I haven’t heard of it.

Tim, you really must have a stomach lining made of material that doesn’t break down with that high level of acid! Yikes is right. I was once recommended this pepper in Texas at HEB for my chili since the ones I use were not available. My chili takes two days to make. Ruined the chili. And, that is not all, the habanero’s burned my skin so badly that I actually was burned. I also accidently touched my lip and it puffed up like a balloon and burned horribly. I stuck my hands and then my whole arms in bags of ice when the burn leached up my inner arms. I officially hate those little yellow demons. I threw out the chili since I had put four of those habanero’s in there – I didn’t want to put anyone in the hospital.

You should have sent it to me!
Although, four peppers is a lot unless you made your chili in a kettle drum.
