Tiger waited patiently at the dinner table, sniffing the aroma that wafted from the kitchen. It was Curry Night and Jasmine was cooking up a storm. Normally he'd help her out with the dinner preparations but this time she INSISTED that he stay put and wait for to come out with the meal. Not one to complain, especially when you're girlfriend is of amazonian build, Tiger just complied with her request. After what seemed like an eternity of just waiting, Tiger saw Jasmine exit the kitchen with a big pot and wooden spoon, ready to dish out the curry and just in time too as his stomach was gurgling.

"I hope you're hungry snookums. I tried a new Curry recipe and added my own twist on it."

Normally, this would send up a red flag for Tiger as past experiences with Jasmine and her trying out new recipes left a bitter taste in his maw but the rumblies in his tumblies said otherwise.

"At this point hon, I could eat a horse!"

"But, I didn't cook any horse..."

Tiger forgot that Jasmine took things literally and chuckled. "Just gimme a spoonful of that curry, hon. I'm starving!"

"Oh, why didn't ya say so?" she smiled at him as she dished out a generous helping of the Curry into his plate. Tiger took another deep inhalation, trying to detect the various curry spices that Jasmine added to the food.

"Well, dig in!"

And that's why Tiger can't handle Spicy Curry.

Here's the last and most recent commission that I got from Neph, showing why Tiger's cautious now when Jasmine's cooking Curry. Oh, it's not that he doesn't like curry, quite the opposite. He loves it, it's the pepper and spicy-ness that he can't handle. But Jasmine, woo boy, she just LOVES it and sometimes overdoes it.

And apologies for ending the the short story so abruptly. I figured that readers would pick up on the ending, given the contents of the pic.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed my uploads! Sorry for spamming your inboxes.
