The issue in our household is finding recipes that work both for my spouse and I who like it hot with my mother in law who is pretty sure black pepper is the outer range of what humans can tolerate. As we live together we need to find dishes that are flavorful but have no significant bite. I compared a couple of recipes then added my own twist. This is really to capture a very positive experience for our own purposes. But then, maybe this is for you, as well.<\/em><\/p>\n
