texaspirate · Posted: Aug 14 2008 Post subject: First ABT"s ---HUGE Rookie Mistake

Cooked first ABT 's last night. Turned out great and even wrapped some corn up with bacon..Excellent..But I fired up the pit,cracked open my first beer..began cutting the jalapenos and had to go to the restroom....Everything was good ,started cutting up the jalapenos again and then came the BALLS OF FIRE!!! I was on fire...had to let the wife finish and go take a cold shower with alot of soap...
all in all a good night,just a little too hot in some places..

I'd like to bust your , um... well, you know what I mean. Sadly the same thing happened to me and I had diligently scrubbed my hands prior to hitting the head. Latex gloves from then on. That was no fun at all.

Never did that with food, but I once had it happen after using "Icy Hot"

Glad to hear i am not the only one..Even after I washed and scrubbed my hands it was real hard to get off .
gloves are a must next time.. My wife aked me "should I wait for you to leave the room to laugh or can I go ahead and laugh in front of you" ?

I bet you'll NEVER make that mistake again. You're lucky your wife was at least considerate. My wife not only woulda laughed in front of me, but she woulda told me that's what I get for taking them out of the jar without her permission! Laughing

Guys you will probably think i am lying..BUT this morning I still feel the burn just a little..I guess it is still in my finger nails or something..or maybe i have like 2nd degree burns down there ..
safety first = wear gloves ,face shield,and drink alot of beer...

I did something similar once. Had a bottle of "Pure Cap" opened while drinking at a bar I used to work at. Went to relieve the beer I had been drinking. OOPS! Shocked

Never did THAT again...

It's a right of passage for BBQers. You have passed the test grasshopper. Now go forth and create good Q. Wink

Milk helps with the burn. But you better do that when the wife's away. Laughing
