I normally stick some natural yoghurt in to make these things milder for people who don't like chilli, but it does alter the taste to "warm tangy" rather than "hot hot" so it doesn't quite taste like chilli any more. Kids think it's nice though.M0neysav3r wrote: »i put too much chilli in - anyone know how i can make it milder?
ETA You could bulk it out with some veggies/lentils (cooked in the chilli mix) which would also "dilute" the chilli if you see what I meanSaving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.0 -

Monday ~ Kitchen & Dining area
All done as well as kitchen spring clean so all cupboards have had their contents out, cleaned and put away in a more sensible order. DH has put shelves up in here too so I've been able to declutter loads from the back of the worksurfaces. Oven has been cleaned again and still isn't good enough - what does it take?!From today's list I've done levels 1 and 2 and washed carpet which is drying now! Hope to catch up on rest tomorrow but heading into the big city so may instead spend it wandering dreamily around Lakeland. This also means that I shall be putting my first entries into my spending diary - first no spend day today but I'm sure I shall make up for it tomorrow.Definitely need to find some time later this week for the whole "cupboard under stairs" experience...0 -
