I remember about 10 or 15 years ago, my wife was an RN at a hospital. they were having a potluck. they had many before and I always made salsa for her to make as everybody loved it. it normally made it mild hot.
So this one time she asked me to make some really hot salsa and some mild. sure no problem. so she went to work and was coming during her lunch to pick up the salsa. I picked up some beautiful in season Jalapenos, tomato, onions and garlic. I boiled all the ingredients, put it in the blender and added salt. when I tried it while it wasnt insanely hot, it was hot. so she showed up while the salsa was still in the blender, she tried it and she omg that is hot. then she asked me where's the mild salsa. I completely forgot to make mild salsa.
so she gets a little annoyed with me, no time to make mild salsa. so she says paul, what am I supposed to do, i told them i was bringing mild salsa for those who dont like it hot. so I said well split the salsa in two containers, labeled one hot, the other mild.
so anyway she goes back to work and comes back after her shift. the container labeled mild was empty while the one labeled hot was hardly touched. so I smiled and asked her what happened. she told me that a few people tried the hot salsa and said it was way too hot to eat. so everybody started eating the mild one, they said while it was hot it wasnt as hot as the other.
I still laugh about this. the power of the mind, conquers all.
