Some of them do start young. My 16 month old granddaughter loves Frank's
hot sauce doused on everything. She will swill it like a soft drink if we
leave her unattended.
Not long ago she plucked a home grown cayenne out of my dehydrator and
bit off the tip. She made a face, then smiled and fanned her mouth while
saying, "Hut! Hut! Hut!". My wife administered first aid with yogurt and
bread but when she finished her yogurt, the munchkin ate the rest of the
pepper! Now I have to guard my peppers whenever she is over to visit.
This next clip has been cross posted a bit; I hope I haven't sent it
here before....
The Short Blond Gourmet becomes Restaurant Critic: Pans Domino's
The Short Blond Grandchile is now known as the S. B. Gourmet. Given a
choice between Cheese Whiz and Old Cheddar, she picks the Cheddar. When
confronted with baby arrowroot teething biscuits and ginger snaps, she
chooses the snaps. She is not only a full fledged Chile Head, she likes
all robust strong flavours. Her favourite candy has become those little
cinnamon hearts called Red Hots.
Recently we had a take out order of Domino's pizza. (They may be the
McDonald's of Pizza but they mailed me a half price coupon, so they
suckered me in.) It came with a small box of complimentary hot wings.
Well these chicken wings were incredibly bland to be labeled hot wings.
I gave one to Neekha and asked her if she liked her hot wing. She gave
me a quizzical look like she thought I was fibbing and said," Noooo....
not hut." Then she scuttled off to the kitchen, opened the fridge and
dragged my one liter bottle of Frank's to the living room. Batting her
eye lashes all flirty like, she then requested, " Mik Hut. Ju Du. Peas?"
Translation: Make [it] hot. You do [it]. Please?"
Domino's have a lot to learn if their hot wings aren't even hot enough
for a 15 month old!
