MOUTH OF STEEL! raaaaaaargh!

I ate (almost) an entire chili pepper!! I didn't cry, my head didn't explode, and fire didn't emit from any of my orifices. Granted, I ate it a little bit at a time, and with other food, but other than my nose running a bit and my mouth still feeling a bit warm 15 minutes later, I think it went pretty well. In fact, I even enjoyed the taste some. I figure, at this rate, I'll be able to eat all of the chilis that are served with my dal within the next decade or so. I just need to keep training...
