I have to be careful in Thai restaurants though, as I don't do well with severe spices

But I can usually take some if I have a nice glass of water

That's a bummer. I love spicy food! I have tried some hot sauces from habaneros before that made my eyes water and my face turn red. haha My tongue went numb too. lol But, they cleared out my allergies and I felt great later.
There is a sotre here that sells a salsa with habaneros and lime in it. With nachos it is just
awesome! I should get some soon.
Cilantro helps make a great salsa too.
Oh wait... we were talking about Thai food. lol
