This morning, during breakfast at Big Four Cafe, minding my own business, I was challenged by a bottle of Dr. Assburn’s all-natural elixir of crushed jalapeño pepper sauce. I tend to take hot sauces as a challenge, within limits, of course, but I’m a fan of spicy meals.
I am also challenged by burritos as big as my head, and one such 4-egg monstrosity had me in the blue corner. The good Dr. whispered his coaching encouragingly, “We can do this! Pace yourself.”
The gloves came off…but it was a challenge from the jump. I managed to bob and weave against the ropes and never took a direct shot from the sauce or the burrito. The lack of punch disappointed me, but I survived his assault and managed to hammer half the burrito into submission.
I stuck the landing and escaped victorious with a to-go box imprisoning the remains of a half-tamed 4-egg burrito. I hope your morning was less threatening…and more satisfying, with fewer implications for near future events.
As for me, I love a win, but I’ll wait for the good doctor’s namesake to join me in about 90 minutes…or less to see who comes out on top.
Peace. G.
