If you can't stand the heat...

...remove the chilli seeds. I love chilli but the flavour rather than the heat. I made the mistake of leaving a couple in the other day and although my husband enjoyed the meal it nearly blew my head off!

Thankyou all so much for the comments and fav's on my decanter stopper shot yesterday. You guys are all stars and consistently make my day :o) x

The other day I have seen a cooking show and they said you just have to rub the chilli on the pan... And it's enough !
