If ever you should order the spicy sausage penne at East Side Mario's, please note that the red object resembling a tomato is in fact one of the hottest chili peppers around. It is advisable not to eat it as if it were something as innocuous as a tomato. Great caution is required.
Two glasses of ice water and the remainders of a sangria later, I am alive to tell the tale. My good friend and supper companion advised me to tell the waitress my experience; and so, I did. She replied, "You know what? You're the first customer that I have ever forgotten to tell about The Chili Pepper." Her reply, and lack of apology, did nothing to calm the fiery insides of my mouth. I did, however, manage to recover in time for dessert. My sinuses have also been given a thorough end-of-summer cleaning. Back with vacation photos soon.

Elena, I know about hot peppers ... they're the worst trigger for Rosacae! I avoid them like the plague! Lesson learned a long time ago! lol
I bet Nathan would have eaten it right away. Hope there was something cool close by.
