A hamster would have learned by now:
My girlfriend loves her hot sauces, and is the initial reason I got into making them again. When I buy/grow new chillies, she has a habit of saying "Can I try one?"
Usually, this is followed by "OW MOTHERFECKER, MILK, QUICK!". And then the next time I buy/grow a chilli, the cycle repeats and I hear "Can I try one?".
Poor, poor plants:
Wandering nurseries, I occasionally come across a cheap, poorly-looking plant of a variety I don't have. And for some reason, I find myself shelling out the dollar or two to buy it, all the while hearing a voice in my head state "It hasn't been cared for, some looking after and it will be fine". I'm usually right too. Yet I'll sometimes grab a sickly plant over a healthier looking one, just to see if I can get it healthy.
That's not a good one:
The girl is cutting up a mixed-bean salad, and asks for some mild chillies to throw in with it. I grab some Bantam and Sevilles for her, and get back to the BBQ.
All of a sudden I hear "ARGH, THAT'S NOT A GOOD ONE!"
So I ask, "What's a good one?"
"One that doesn't burn my tongue when I lick it".
Nice Puppy:
The girlie is a fan of animals, so I showed her This pic of the Bloodhounds and Douglah chilli. Her response? "I want a Bloodhound Chilli... but you won't make me lick it!"
Will add more as I think of them.
