    Tip from a bartender

    Ate at Kooky Canuck this afternoon. While there I got a tip from Terry the bartender. If you ever eat super hot food that kicks your ass, e.g. the Holy Smokes wings there, drink warm water to relieve the pain. Terry told me that warm water opens up the capillaries on the tongue, whereas ice cold water does just the opposite.

    Anyone think certain people have theme songs? Every time I see Terry I’m reminded of when we played a Led Zeppelin IV tape backward in college and it seemed to say “because I live with Satan.” Not sure why.

    Whoever’s idea it was to put chunks of ham in the cheesy corn, you are a genius.
