I made a rather delicious frittata for dinner, but I was a little heavy handed with the chilli flakes. This gave my gums and lips a not entirely unpleasant burning / tingling sensation. The damage was done though, when I was relaxing afterwards and had a glass of Clontarf single malt Irish whiskey. The combination of the chilli and the whiskey have a similar effect to novacaine, and now it feels like my mouth has disappeared.

Cheers, Michael.
 
I tried a Dorset Naga from the stable of Michael Michot(sp?) Holy Fffffffffaaaaaaaagghhhh.

Words of advice. Don't bother, unless you're a Geordie looking for the ultimate hit.
 
Milk and Charmin soothing Michael :D

I did that once. Making a frittata as well.
If you think your lips are numb, just think about your poor ring piece the next morning...
Get the bog roll in the fridge ready and waiting.
 
There's no need to worry. That part of me is as impervious to heat as a plumber's soldering mat, or Ray Mears' dutch oven. I've even upped the ante by having a chilli tonight, with enough left for lunch and dinner tomorrow.
If I continue like this I'll be able to be used as a source of sustainable energy, and paradoxically, I'll have my own personal hole in the ozone layer.
