I'm a Level 25!

I did the Pearl Cafe's spicy food challenge tonight. I threw down on a level 25 stir fry cashew chicken. You can do the challenge on any of their curries, stir fries, or noodles spiced up to a level 25, and the proprietor of the place told me that a stir fry was probably my best bet as it was a lesser amount of food than the noodle dishes, and with the curries you have to eat all the sauce, too. He said if i completed it, I would only be the third female to do so. I completed it with little to no problems. It didn't taste much spicier than the way I prefer my Thai food, to be honest, although eating a whole dish like that was a little challenging--knowing I couldn't save some for later and eat only half of it. Aside from some nose running, I came through relatively unscathed. Their dilly-yo is that you start with a level 25, then work up to a 50, 75, and finally, a 100. You only get a reward for completing the 100. Even though I completed this without much difficulty, I don't know that I could do the same at level 100. I think I could take a few bites of it, maybe even finish off about half of it if I had a lot of time to kill, but I don't know if I could eat a whole plate of it at one sitting. So... I may try to throw down on a level 50 at some point if I'm feeling frisky, but for now I will just bask in the glory of going where few women have gone before. Truly, this is my proudest accomplishment to date besides birthing an awesome daughter and winning on Jeopardy. I kid, but only a little bit.
