Here's something that just struck me - my kid brother wrestled two out
of three with the Big Casino. And the chemo/radiation made him crave
spicy foods and increased his tolerance for heat. He visited here
whilst I was in hospital wondering if I was going to make it or not.
After the deal was decided in my favour he was at the house rummaging
through my cabinets and came across a small stash of 16 oz jars of
pickled habanero chilies.
He killed one the first night - allowing that they were "mildly spicy"
and asked for a couple jars to take home. Then he told me that since
the cancer treatments that his heat tolerances had gone through the
roof - things had to be extreme in the heat ranges before he noticed
any heat at all.
Just wondering if something like that happened to you.
