Was-AHHHHH!-bi

Just in case you were wondering….

Eating wasabi-covered peas while reading is fine.

Reaching up to wipe something out of your eye and forgetting your finger is dusted in wasabi powder ~ not so fine.

‘Ow’ pretty much sums it up.

    Ouch! I've done that after dicing jalapenos before.

    I can't hear the word wasabi without remembering a true story I once read in Reader's Digest and chuckling. It seems a certain Chinese restaurant had a large Hispanic clientele. Out of courtesy for their Spanish-speaking patrons, they finally put up a sign:

    No es guacamole. Wasabi es muy caliente.

    Cracks me up every time.

    I love wasabi peas. The pain that comes from rubbing your eyes with wasabi-covered fingers? Not so much.

    I can't handle wasabi. but our local grocer always has them out as testers...imagine my littles surprise one day when she learned they were definitely NOT jelly beans! Poor thing!
