Hell's Muffins

No, my bird has not joined a biker gang :-D I had to toss 9 out of 12 muffins that I made on Monday for the craft club potluck on Tuesday. I was going to make my mildly spicy polenta muffins. The grocery store didn't have any of the big fat red chilies that the recipe required, so I bought a package of small, mixed hot peppers.
I only cut up four for the recipe (they were all lady finger sized) and as you can imagine...well...making substitutions is always tricky and sometimes ill-advised.
Fortunately I tried a muffin after it came out of the oven - hot!! Thinking that it was just one muffin that got most of the peppers, I tried another one - hot!! Thinking that some dip might cool down the taste, I had half of a third muffin and the inside of my ears burned!.
Dang, I don't know what kind of hot peppers these were, but I ended up getting up early on Tuesday to make a new batch, sans peppers. If you want to be friends with people, it's probably best not to melt their faces :-D
