I should have went for the vegetarian option of the vindaloo challenge instead of chicken. It may have been easier to eat and not as filling.

I know the pain of the day after eating extra-spicy food...I never learned my lesson that Hunanese wild mountain pepper beef was meant to be shared (I've eaten the whole plate a few times).
