    Your version of the chilli sounds very chilli indeed! I'm getting better with hot spice but not that good. My introduction to chipotle was mixed in mayo, so it was more smoky than spicy.

    I've decided to serve the rest of the chilli with cheese - we have family round tomorrow and I think they'll like that.

    I had mine on a baked sweet potato with a bit of cheese sprinkled on top and it was spot on 👍 I do like my food hot and spicy 🌶️

    Much to my surprise I made an extremely nice balti the other day.  I'm sure it had some chicken in somewhere but it did have a bucket load of mushrooms before they went.  Whoops forgot I had them.

    @Sun_Addict, would you like to rename your thread along the lines of 'The chilli and curry comparison club'? :D 

    Balti is too strong for me. :)

    Morning all, happy Saturday 🥂

    No plans for this weekend other than catch up on the cleaning and doing more decluttering. 

    I’ve got ClubFit in an hour then a quick trip to the shop for a paper then take the dog on the park. After that focusing on cleaning/decluttering. 

    Oh and I must finally get around to planting the winter pansies I bought last Saturday. 

    Tonight’s dinner is veggie burger, wedges and salad. And yes there’s Prosecco for Strictly 😆
