Does Anyone Have a TIFU Moment When Cooking? (lemmy.one)

I was finishing a jar of extremely hot peppers (7 pot primos) that I had fermenting on Thanksgiving day. I made a hot sauce with them and cantaloupe. I had them in a pan at a low simmer to meld the flavors. The problem was the steam coming off was potent as hell. It filled the house when everyone was arriving and coughing from the hot sauce in the air, me included. We had to open all the windows, dig out the fans to get it out of the house, freezing everyone in the process.

Oof…
I learned that one as a ween helping my ma make chili sauce. First my hands started burning. Then my legs started burning cause I tried to wipe my hands on my my clothes but I was wearing shorts. Eventually my auntie had to help me to the sink so I could wash. 😭

I was mixing some "chili con carne", went to the bathroom, didn't wash my hands before... big mistake.
