Now, each of these Bachelors has an interesting story behind them. Bachelor #1 is from Japan...not a big deal but my neighbor said that she has had to coach him on girls and dating (red flag #1). He is also a smoker which is a complete deal breaker for me. Bachelor number 2 is a fellow UK grad who apparently has lost like 100 lbs since college, 'Biggest Loser style' according to my neighbor. Major props for that! But he has random roommates, one of which he dated while they lived together, and she stll lives there (red flag #2).
So as it got closer to dinner time, you can imagine that I was getting pretty nervous thinking, "What am I about to get myself into?" I went down a bit early to help cook. Bachelor #2 is on this 'caveman diet' so we had to cook a super healthy meal, which I will not complain about. We had avacado/lettuce wraps for an appetizer (I dont even like avacado), baked mahi mahi over veggies for the main course, and pineapple and bourbon for dessert (I attempted to drink the bourbon straight up since that was what everyone else was doing...awful idea! I need my diet coke.) As I was sipping my bourbon, because there was no way that was going down easy, it started to get really hot in there! I tried to ignore it, but I went to the restroom a while later and my face was bright red! I wonder how long it had been like that...
As I am helping her cook, I have to chop the habanero pepper that goes in these lettuce wraps. Apparently these are the hottest type of pepper, but as I was chopping it, I couldn't smell the spice coming from it. We chopped a pepper earlier that we could smell the spice from. So we thought we were confused on the type of pepper it was...After I finish chopping the pepper I decide to taste what was on my finger to see what it tasted like. Bad idea...if my mouth had a fire alarm, it would be going off- full blast! Keep in mind please that the bachelors are on their way over and here I am panting because my mouth is on fire. Luckily I drank enough water to cool it off so I wasnt acting a fool when they got there.
For the important part...dinner was a lot of fun! It was really nice meeting new people
Well, Bachelor #2 had to leave so he could get up and hit the gym this morning (he is pretty intense about these workouts..kinda makes me feel guilty). Bachelor #2 was doing laundry at my neighbor's house so he stayed for a bit. I was getting kinda tired myself so I decded it was time to head back upstairs. Being tired, I went to rub my eye and within 2 second realized that my hand had been on that pepper, and even though I had washed my hands multiple times it burned so bad. So I immiediately have to run out the door so I can hold a wet rag against my eye without being too embarrassed by the whole situation. So I yell good-bye to Bachelor #1 and make my escape.
As for my future with the bachelors, I'm not sure. We will just have to see how it goes. I know one thing is for sure...I will never cut another habanero pepper!
