What's for tea at your house tonight?

DH says it gives him a chili-gasm.  He feels like lying back & needs to breathe fresh air afterwards, cos he gets all sweaty & flushed from eating it (and his nose all runny) - but that it's a good rush!  

I love that feeling! Man, that sounds great. I'm not sure my DH could handle all those chiles, though! Maybe I could ease him into it.

Not like the time we served you guys kallaloo with birds eye chillies for essence and I forgot to remove one that he found!  Scared to invite you over again - I have no spice control mechanism.

(Normally, I leave them in and grind them, seeds and all - I like the torture!  )

The more chilis the better!


I'd be a big fan of this curry I think:

For some reason, the spice-heat in curries occasionally gets to me, but the spice-heat in chili rarely ever does.  I don't understand why?  Whenever I'm feeling poorly, DH inevitably makes a hot curry - thinking he's going to burn the germs out of me or something, but generally I can't bear to eat it then and/or if I do, I end up feeling sicker.

That's weird. A really spicy curry usually helps clear my sinuses if I'm sick, though it's kind of gross because I need a box of tissues nearby while i eat. 

Have talked the hubster into getting us a takeaway from the chippie on his way home!  Meaning I don't have to cook tonight - score!  I wasn't really in a cooking mood, and I'm also really craving fish & chips & mushy peas.

 

I've settled on burgers and chips. I got some of those tomato and basil burgers since I have some mozzarella cheese to use up. I'm also going to recreate a tomato salad I had the other week. I bought a mixture of various types (and colors) of tomatoes which I'll cut in large chunks and mix with feta and basil, salt, pepper, and a bit of olive oil. The original had black olives, but I think they're gross, so I'm leaving them out!

Tacos.

I don't know how you people handle that much chili heat!  I accidentally bit into some kind of a green chili thinking it was just a normal green pepper, in a curry and I almost barfed in the restaurant it was so disturbingly hot.  My face turned bright red too and I had to drink more than half a pitcher of lassi for it to go away.

You and me Andee!

Pizza.  Just can't be bothered to do anything but type today.

My face turned bright red too... 

The red face is all part of the fun! 

And the drippy nose. Hehehe!

I'm having leftovers because its easy and needs used up.

Breakfast for dinner! Sausage, biscuits and gravy!

Fish & Chips

I'm making my Super Nachos. I've not made them here...I've not made them in about 5 years (the last time I watched a Super Bowl) but I figured World Cup USA v. England was as good a time as any.
