I hate chopping jalapenos. I’m making Texas style chicken for preschool tomorrow, so pre-chopped a boat load of jalapenos tonight. Then I put Aquaphor on my hands and rubbed some on my lips. How do I stop the burning??? I thought I’d be ok because I always rinse my hands with milk after chopping the [...]

I have been one busy girl this weekend. Yesterday we had our annual holiday cookie baking madness down at Tora’s house, then we followed it up with a cookie exchange today!
