Firsts: 1 of_?

I'm not sure how many of these "Firsts" posts we'll have, but I'm inclined to think there will be many since Katie's most commonly used phrase is "I've never had ______." Here is a serving from the past month:

first guacamole dip

first bite of Chinese broccoli

first glass of

Rosé

You might be asking yourself, "I can't believe Katie has never had guacamole!  That's like never having hummus!"  Well, she has never had hummus.  Now you're probably saying "but what about Chinese broccoli?!  That's like not ever having yellow bell pepper!"  Katie hasn't had that either and so the blog continues.

Turn up the heat!

Hot wings challenge!  Katie went for the alleged "spicy" wing, which was determined by the real spice lovers not to be spicy at all.  Nevertheless, fear was in the heart of Katie as she approached the wing.  But, she approached it like a champ--not unlike the one in the backdrop . 

Once it was determined that Katie's tongue was at an acceptable temperature, a dash of 7-alarm wing sauce was applied to spice things up a bit.  This was in conjunction with the heroic consumption of the famous 7 Alarm Wing by both Sous Chef (yours truly) and two other brave stewards of spice!  Sympathy sweat was had by those not having the hot wings, and triumph was shared by all.



The Challenge

It all started with a co-worker's naive comment:  "K, so [I've] never had Nutella... is it just regular old peanut butter?   Or is there something special to it?"  Katie had a konniption fit and declared she could eat Nutella "EVERY day," and so the challenge began.  How many consecutive days and different ways could Katie eat Nutella?

Day 1: Nutella crepe with strawberries

Day 2: Nutella french toast

Day 3: Nutella pastry puff (a Katie original)

Day 4: Nutella-stuffed pancakes

Day 5: Nutella and banana panini

Day 6: Nutella and banana purses

It turns out Katie only lasted six days on the challenge even though she considers Nutella the "condiment of the gods." And the co-worker still has not tried it (Tassos).
