    As a less experienced cook, I assumed that green chillies were less hot than red chillies on principle because red = fire and that. Casually tossed 20? green finger chillies into a curry... Oh my word, we were dripping with sweat after the first mouthful! :D
  • I once in my younger years made gravy for my mum. Poured it on everyone's dinner to find out it was coffee when everyone was spitting it out 😊 I never did get asked to do it again lol

    I had a boss who expected me (being female) to make him a coffee when ever he wanted one.  He only asked me once.    :D

    Glad the post share provoked a few smiles and memories … 😉😊

    I have made a teeny-tiny OP this evening of £4.08 of survey monies and an even weenier TT of 5p! 😂

    Mr KK has made a start on decluttering his bedroom. He’s doing 30 minutes a night and although I can’t see any difference yet, a lot of ‘stuff’ has left - I have seen it being brought down for disposal or storage elsewhere 😊

    Utterly exhausting week in work this week so won’t be posting much but happily plodding on 😊
