The Sunlit Pantry

As further preparation for my curry tour in Edinburgh in a few weeks, and also as a great celebration because my beloved cat has made remarkable recovery progress against her health ails today, I decided to further test my inhuman spice tolerance.

Ordered Baigan Bharta (curried Eggplant), extra spice, to go. In order to improve the spice, two Thai Chili Peppers, two Habaneros, the remainder of my tub of Chili Paste, and a generous dose of my Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce were all added to the mix.

…Unfortunately I hadn’t washed my hands thoroughly after and burned the shit out of my eyes and couldn’t see for a bit. Not my most brilliant move.

But the food was SOOO spicy and delicious and satisfying! Om nom nom.

Scottish curry-makers here I come.

Last takeaway night before I go to Europe. General Tso and Hunan Tofu.

Some of us went to Sidetrack last night. The Frys came out, too (!), and (bless their hearts) bought my drinks. It was good.

Pictured is a Black Bean Burger with Cajun Chips, Red Beans and Rice no doubt loaded with hot sauce, and Cajun Chips (extra crispy, extra Cajun) with hot sauce/ketchup.

Had to remind myself to go eat something - it’s been a pretty busy and also quite rough couple days for me - and figured, shoot, still got enough Homemade Curry Hummus to do a solid Bagelwich.

Got Indian takeaway from a place in Garden City called Taj.

See, I discovered that one of the spiciest curries in the world is at a place in Edinburgh, Scotland, where I will be in a few weeks. I love curry, and godsdamn do I love spicy. So, my Scottish curry tour will be glorious, and I needed to make sure I’m up to snuff still.

Ordered the Baigan Bharta (curried eggplant with tomatoes and peas) double extra spicy. Then, I proceeded to add ground Chipotle Chili Pepper, Chili Paste, dried Chili Flakes, and this amazing Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce that Corrie got me. It was delicious. And so spicy. It was like an orgasm, but better, and slightly more painful (well, I guess I already said better, right) - a brief period of enlightenment, of Nirvana.

Om nom. Motherfucking nom.
