Mike,

7 months out and I just started eating at the Mexican place again. I go for the milder stuff, but was pleasently suprised I could even enjoy that. Tried some mildly spicy chili the other day and made it all the way through a cup. I'll have to work my way up to a bowl.

I think it was tristeve who said he breaks out in a sweat with spicy foods. I get that a bit too now, but am generaly so happy to be tasting and enjoying more foods that I don't care.
