Phil Mc Kown gave a very informative presentation on the delights and the effects of Hot stuff. It is amazing to learn how hot something can be and that there is a scale that rates hot foods. I was suprized to learn that Jalepenos peppers were not considered really hot. On the hot scale, they were only considered medium to mild. I did learn that you should never touch a hot pepper to your lips, because they are the most sensitive organ for sensing hot foods, also if you do eat something that is burning you up, don't drink water or alcohol, but try to drink milk or dairy products because the fats in the dairy products bind up the hot chemicals of the pepper. Thanks Phil. That was a very enlightening program and one which could come to our aid if we get too hot for our own good.
