Spice....

It wrecks an otherwise delicious meal!

Let me explain. My wife's cousin is visiting. She is a fabulous cook and whenever I visit India, I manage to finagle an invitation to a hearty meal at her place. The two days she has been here, she's been cooking for us and by jolly, does she like those chillis? Every time I put a morsel of food in my mouth, my skin jumps and my tongue burns. I am breaking sweat by the time I am through. My wife and I asked her to go a little easy on the spice and those chillis. We'll find out tonight if our remonstrations had the desired effect.
