It's been a hectic week. I just finished off my first week at work. Tony was responsible for dinner tonight. On the menu, pasta with anchovies, red pepper flakes and lots and lots of garlic. I always tell him "Don't be cheap with the garlic." Tonight was no exception. He chopped up a whole head of garlic, chopped up the anchovies and for the final touch, was supposed to add some red chili flakes. He wasn't paying attention and half a bottle went into it. It changed the color of the oil to a nice shade of red. What to do? Do we trash it and just have it with garlic and oil or do we suck it up (literally) and experience the loss of sensation to the mouth? We ate it. Matthew threw in the towel after about two bites. Tony ate it but kept drinking water. I ate it, finished it and am now able to call them wimps. I don't understand what the problem is. Perhaps because I can't feel my lips now I have no sympathy for them.
