That’s A Lot Of Chilli For A Small Salad

I went out for dinner & drinks on Friday with some ex-work colleagues and some soon to be ex-work colleagues for yet another leaving party [Mines on the 27th, there are 7 of us leaving the same day, Never mind a small gift & a card, I’ll be lucky to get a Kit-Kat and a post-it note, the way the collections are happening almost daily]

So we went to Blends, which is nice, half price cocktails 5 till 7, but no Guinness  only 1664 on draught, oh dear.

Anyway we were having a perfectly nice meal, when I noticed the lovely lady sitting opposite me was, how do we put this politely, ah yes,  was ‘glowing’ quite a bit.

Ever the gentleman I asked after her well being, to which she responded that she thought she was having some sort of ‘hot flush’ and wasn’t sure why as she felt perfectly healthy before.

I then enquired what she had ordered, to which she replied “It’s only the Asian salad with Tiger Prawns, it can’t be that.”

So I took a look, well best beloved, it certainly was that, given that she had eaten half the salad already before the picture below was taken. Seeing what chilli remained I would reckon she had eaten a whole chilli by that point, no wonder the poor dear was sweating like a horse. Still the removal of the rest of the chilli, a walk round the paddock and the swift administration of a medicinal pint of 1664 cooled her down swiftly.

This is why salads are bad for you.
