I love spicy food. Spicy food + pregnancy related heartburn = bad bad bad idea. I normally do not have heartburn, except when I'm pregnant. It is not fun and I try to tone down some of my favorite dishes (Thai, Mexican, Indian, etc).
But, I have such a weakness for Potbelly's hot peppers. Potbelly's is a chain of sandwich shops - like Subway, but so much better. The sandwiches are already pretty darn great....and then you add a TON of Potbelly's own hot peppers onto the sandwich. OMG. AH-MAZING.
When I was pregnant with Sam, I bought an entire jar of Potbelly's hot peppers to make sandwiches at home on the weekends. The peppers are seriously craveable, even though I know they will wreak havoc on my heartburn. Unfortunately there is a Potbelly's across the street from my office and my firm loves to order their sandwiches to serve at meetings...and a big bowl of the hot peppers comes along with the sandwiches. How can I possibly resist the amazing peppers? I just can't. I have given up sushi, alchohol, caffeine, I only eat seafood 1x/week (as per my dr orders), smoked fish, soft cheeses, etc. But giving up hot peppers? Hec no! They're worth the miserable heartburn that I know will follow. Hence, my love/hate relationship with these wonderfully dangerous peppers.
