Well, I was going to say that the hoover is the opposite of a pepper spray, but you seem to have gone for the full pepper spray! :wink:

You should be grinding your pepper fresh ideally, and there’s no chance to have a spill like this. Though this kind of mistake can happen with other spices i suppose

Especially as a young lad in :canada: when I added a tablespoon of Cayenne to the cake; in a rush I had misread the label as “Canelle” (cinnamon, mais en :fr:, courtesy of what were then the new bilingual labels, eh?).

The colour should have been my first clue… :thinking:

Should I use a dedicated kitchen vacuum or the one we use for the kitty litter?

You have more than one? :thinking:

Doesn’t everybody?

We have an upright and an awesome Bissell cordless for kitty litter spills and shredded cardboard kitty scratch pads and the stairs.

I also have a ginormous shop vac in the garage a customer let me keep after a hurricane cleanup job many years ago. They paid for it but had no use for it after the job.

So three vacuums at home.

My co-workers used to ask for my homemade gingerbread. Once when I was baking some, I discovered that I was out of ginger. So I used cayenne—probably less than the amount of ginger that was called for, though—along with the cinnamon and molasses. The cake was declared tasty as usual. When I confessed that it didn’t have any ginger in it, they said that they never would have guessed if I hadn’t told them. I guess as long as it’s molasses-y and spicy, it will hit the spot!

One of the best home made cookies i ever had was at a gathering/party and someone made chocolate cookies that had cayenne or some other kind of hot spice in it. Was just enough to give it heat but not be too much
