Wasabi OD

Today, I've been mostly munching wasabi peas. Which are pretty hot.

Tonight, I seem to no longer be able to taste things properly, notably sugar. I think I've (hopefully temporarily) burnt out some of my tastebuds. Very weird.

In other news, it seems that I can taste sugar again. No wasabi peas for me for a while. :-)
