I recommend cheese on toast, made with a generous helping of grated Stilton, and done under the grill. Seasoned with a hint of cayenne pepper.
And my niece use to bitch about my use of ground red pepper and sliced jalapeno's in my cooking. She use to be super bland and refused to eat what I cooked until she tasted it.\
In Thailand, many people cry when they eat because they know how to use peppers. It is not good, until it makes tears. I loved that stuff. In Thailand, they have a bottle of what looks like water on the table, just in case your food is not hot enough, and you do not need but a few drops at most, it was pure fire.
There's apparently such a thing as chilli flavoured chocolate, though I've never really fancied it.
I cook without a cook book, getting rave reviews from my niece which lives with me, and therefore, I know what flavors not to combine, that even sounds awful.
In Thailand, they had this kind of rice pudding, which was cooked inside a bamboo shoot, and it was very sweet and awesome. If you like Baklava, you would like it. I was born in Vermont, so I like my Baklava with real maple syrup.

I just finished up 6 hours of yard work. will finish up tomorrow with trimming the lawn.

Speaking of 'combinations', don't Americans love melted chocolate poured over bacon, and beef patties sandwiched between sugary doughnuts, i.e. a 'doughnut burger'? Classy :|

Yes, I tend to just make it up as I go along, as well, and have inflicted many an odd concoction on long-suffering guests, who are basically just guinea pigs. I was a vegetarian for years, but have tentatively started experimenting with meat again.

A couple of weeks ago I spent most of a whole morning going over my front garden, pulling up all the grass and weeds that had sprung up between the slabs, with the help of a trowel and an old, blunt hacksaw, which was definitely fun, especially as I'll probably have to do it all again soon.
