Fahrenheit Club - session 5
Well, the Fahrenheit Club has finally reconvened. Two thousand eleven days did indeed lapse since we last gathered, and circumstance has scattered our miniscule membership hither and yon...regardless, we did manage to acheive quorum. Three members, myself (interim president), John (intermediate president) & Josh (provisional president) gathered to pay our respects to various dishes that would not normally be consumed in the same meal. There were no new members present, so the hot sauce shooters were unnecessary for the first time in our club's history. In times past, the minutes for these sessions have invariably been gathered in an haphazard manner on assorted papers, napkins, and notepads, and today was no different. Transcription follows:Session 5 - Aug.26/06 - my house

Lessons learned:
Josh passed on the pickled peppers, John relished them, I nearly choked - I didn't actually chew the second one, so I didn't burn my lips, tongue and cheek like the first, but I can still feel it being digested. Surprisingly, the Doritos packed more of a punch than the bruschetta, but you've gotta get your veggies somewhere, right? The curry dishes convinced me to make a regular spot in the fridge door for hot mango chutney - who knew? And nuts with rice - why isn't that a popular combination? We did prepare enough edible heat to serve 6 or 7 - so it looks like I'll be reheating for a few days, in more ways than one. Now that the meeting is over I should probably turn off Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire - we won't need that reminder until the morning I'm sure.
..and the 'ice cream as dessert' vs. 'ice cream as local anesthetic' debate rages on.
