 "Some Like it Hot" by Marti Ronemus

More good news! (We need it, right?) In a study of 500,000 people in China, those who ate spicy foods three times a week had a 14% lower risk of dying from cancer. Why is complicated, but suffice it to say the stuff that makes food hot is not only anti-cancer, but antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

And as if that's not good enough news. We don't need to eat whole peppers. They work better chopped and mixed with other foods. But wait! There's more! How about THIS! The spicy stuff is best eaten with FAT!! Yes! Bring on those chicken wings!

 Your choice:
A: 3 No-trump: When Pard bid at the two-level, he promised 10-plus pts. Combine that with ours, we've got game. We can't rebid the Hearts, and raising Diamonds makes no sense either. Bidding 2 No-trump seems cowardly, and we Like it Hot.

 Your choice:
A: 4 No-trump: This is the Unusual No-trump, promising two suits. It can't possibly be to play or to be asking for Aces. Let's continue this auction in our next question.

 Your choice:
A: 5♣: We are not a happy camper and are feeling the heat as we sit on the Hot Spot. We cannot bid our Hearts, as they are dreadful. We are going to bid our Clubs, and hope for the best.

 Your choice:
A: Double: Again, we seem to be finding ourselves in hot water today. Supporting Pard's Clubs, even though he's got a five-card suit, doesn't seem the winning line. Passing is even less attractive. We can't really introduce Diamonds at the three-level with that bad quality suit. While the Double isn't perfect, it does show Pard our four Spades and our Diamonds.

?


 Your choice:
A: 1 No-trump: We could never do that in the direct seat, but in the balancing seat, we mentally "borrow" a King from Pard and bid accordingly. We'd like to have a Heart stopper, but hey... life just isn't perfect. We can't Pass, right? BTW, when Pard responds to our 1 No-trump bid, he better subtract that King, or things could get VERY hot!

And now our hand...
