Feel the heat.

I somehow managed to take 215 pictures of a six-and-a-half minute jalapeño eating competition…so you’ll have to stay tuned for pics/recap of my day…But for now, all I have to say is that Pat Bertoletti rocks:

La Costeña "Feel the Heat" Jalapeño Eating Challenge - jalapeno eating contest in Chicago.

and I could never come close to eating 190 jalapeños…hell, I don’t think I could eat ONE!!!

Hi, I'm Val. I spent most of my 20s in a standstill, unable to pick which path in life I wanted to take. I wanted the nomadic life of a traveler but also wanted the husband, the condo, and the kitten. Unable to decide which life I wanted more, I did nothing. When I turned 30 I’d had enough of putting my life on hold and decided to start “choosing my figs.” So, I quit my job, bought a one-way ticket to Europe, and traveled for three years. Now I'm back in Chicago, decorating my apartment in all the teal, petting my cats, and planning my next adventure.

When I turned 30 I’d had enough of putting my life on hold and decided to start “choosing my figs.” So, I quit my job and bought a one-way ticket to Europe. After 3 years on the road I’m back in Chicago, exploring the city, learning guitar, decorating my apartment in too much teal, cuddling my cats, and planning my next adventures.
