48 Miles and One Serrano Pepper

Yesterday, I biked further than I ever thought possible. I took part on the 3rd Cup 'n' Cone Tour, which is part of the MS 150 training series. With friends from Godiva and Crystal's MS 150 training group, we biked from Cary to Chapel Hill in search of ice-cream. There was Maple View Farm ice-cream at the half-way point and Goodberry's ice-cream custard at the end. Strangely enough, my legs aren't tired a day later; just my thumbs. I am guessing that my crazy death grip on my handlebars wore out my thumbs.

After getting home, Eric and I went out in search of ingredients for his awesome Thai curry. Apparently, thai peppers and thai basil are rare commodities in Durham. Our friendly Whole Foods produce man said that serrano peppers are a close relative of thai peppers. Eric, ever the scientist, decided to test this theory by biting into the pepper. He quickly verified that the pepper was wicked hot. After one bottle of kefir, both Eric and the serrano pepper are fine.
