All Things Spicy

I have become obsessed this week with spicy food. Let's back up and explain how this happened(other than my tendency to have OCD). An old friend of mine posted a picture on her blog of the stuff she gave her kids for Easter........there right on top of everything were Flamin Hot Cheetos.....okay, I have never actually tried them so I didn't think too much about this until a couple days later when Bryan (husband) and I were in the check-out at Stupid Center and there they were , sitting on the top shelf of the impulse items saying "buy me ", so of course I got a bag. Now let's think , how hot can these thing be? my friend gives them to innocent children. Thankfully my husband is a little OCD about his 'company car' so I had to wait until I got home to eat said Cheetos. Oh My Goodness........call the fire department, call 911, just do something, I thought I would die! 3 Cheetos later I was seriously ill................but the strangest thing, I couldn't stop eating them........every few minutes I would try just one more to see if they were still hot! So the next day I start eating the Jelly Belly beans that I have 3 pounds of and discover the cinnamon are amazing, so after sorting through all 3 pounds I'm out of cinnamon beans and what do I do? Go back to eating the horrible Cheetos!!!! Why? I have no clue, but it doesn't stop there............oh no........last night I went to three different stores just to buy Hot Tamales, they are very close to cinnamon jelly beans, and also found a bag of Flamin Hot Fries!!! Well, after much thought, I have figured out why all these HOT foods have been so obsessive for me the last few days.........these type things did not used to bother me, but I quit smoking about 6 months ago after having smoked for over 15 years , and I think my taste buds are much more sensitive now!! So I hope that I experience a new taste for foods that are actually good for me now...........like vegetables and all things green, but I wouldn't count on it!
