Topic: When two is one too many

[macmac]

I've just sampled a butternut squash and chilli soup.I made it in the slow cooker inspired by a recipe but it was one of those throw this and that together moments
PHEW. :o :o :o
Two chillis should definately been ONE :-\

Butternut squash is definately on our list of things to grow again next year. They are a lovely flavour simply sliced and roasted.

They keep so well too.

All my family love chilli - all my family except me!

As I am the one who does the cooking, it is very difficult to judge when there is enough chilli because  what is overpoweringly HOT to me, is mild to them!

I worked with an Indian lady some years ago and she did not care for chilli that much and her children prefered their food to be ' not too hot' either but her husband would complain his food was under hot.

She told me that she would make the meal to suit her, serve hers and the kids  on to their plates then smother his share with chilli sauce.

Every one was happy
To cool down the chilli you can add some dairy. milk, cream or youghurt. If you prefer coconut, cream, milk or some of any in  powder form.

we dried some of our chillies, put them in a pepper grinder and Ray can use it to 'hotten' up his food as I can't take too much heat  ;D

as I can't take too much heat  ;D

good excuse as any I've ever heard to get out of the kitchen, then, Mal ;D

Yep! Just plonk yourself in front of the tele while Ray does Man's Stuff with the pots and pans, while you cultivate your taste for the hot stuff with chilli choklit, natch.

Its difficult to judge isnt it, on my apache chilli plant last year i found some were far hotter than others expecialy the more mature chillis, so how you supposed to judge it?.

My advice..........buy some yoghurt :)
