Too Much Paprika

I was in my sophomore year in college and living off campus. My roommate and I were both vegetarian at the time. We decided one day to make a meal for our respective boyfriends. We wanted to show them that vegetarian food can be full of variety and tasty.

We found a recipe for stuffed yellow squash that we liked, and we followed the directions to a T. That is, until the top of the paprika spice bottle flew off and a large amount for paprika entered the stuffing. We looked at each other and then thought, well, how bad could it be?

Before our boyfriends came over, we decided to taste one of the squashes and I am glad we did. It was super spicy! I am someone who likes spicy food but that heat took the cake.

Take out, anyone?
