Warm Fuzzy Feeling.

[tinner666]

I've sure been enjoying a lot of neat sauces lately. They really warm the cockles of my heart. :D
My concern however, is there any secret late snack to help with the warm feeling in the morning. I don't have much faith in eating a quart of ice cream, then sitting there, praying, "Come on Ice Cream!!" :lol: Frank

Yup. It's called Protonix. Or Nexium. Or Prevacid.

Works like a charm. :wink:

They really put the fire out? I thought they were for upset stomach. Just want to be sure we're talking about the same thing. When I eat too much sauce, it leaves hotter that it came in! :lol: Frank

This may sound really simple, but it has worked in the past for me. Just take a couple packets (ounces) of plain white sugar. Dump it into your mouth, and swishit around for a little while like mouthwash before you go to bed. You can also mix it into water and drink it (it'll take a lot of sugar using this method). Anyway, I think the reason it works is that there is a natural atomic bond between capsaicin and sugar. The sugar will absorb it like a magnet. Personally, I'd rather pass a sugar cube than a meteorite during re-entry. Give it a shot. Simple yet very effective

Thanks! I only eat moderate amounts nowadays because of a bad experience when I ate a large can of jalepenos and drank the juice. Frank

Zantac washed down with a glass of chocolate milk.

Works every time. And you only need to use it once.

I was just making a tongue-in-cheek reference to some meds that help reduce the hyperacidity in your stomach that usually comes with hot & spicy foods. Sugar is good, but I'm not sure that it's for the reason that Cpt. DEFCON points out...but if it works, use it!

BANZAI!!!

Hmmmm, Captain DEFCON....Kinda has a nice ring to it. I do prefer Field Marshal though. :lol:

Like I said, sugar definitely cuts the hot, we use it at shows all the time and really blow peoples minds. The atomic bond of capsaicin and sugar is the reason many cannot get past the infamous glass ceiling when creating extracts. Hypothetically, I figured since it cuts the hot in your mouth, the sugar must be attracting the lovely little capsaicinoids from the tastebuds. Perhaps I'm incorrect in my assumption, but the result is the same; Passing nice little sugar cubes (perhaps with rounded edges, I hope) instead of flaming meteorites in the morning.

Not to wax scientific, (I know how you hate that, DC), but the sugar molecules bond to the same pain receptors that have been fired by the contact with capsaicin and they soothe the pain. Unfortunately, for the poor little pain receptors, the Capsaicin molecules are stronger than the sugar, so once the sugar has dissolved, the pain returns.

Another pain alleviator is casein, an enzyme found in dairy products like cream and cheese. (There is NO casein in milk).

Fwiw, I intend to try the sugar cube the next time I get heartburn.
