I’ve just got the slow cooker on the go. This is usually the Fox’s
area of culinary expertise but for once I’m having a go.
So what am I tackling? A beef chilli mole. At one point in the preparation
I had a taster. It’s certainly going to be hot to eat in more ways than one. I’ve
given my hands a good wash & scrub in the hope I don’t get chilli in my
eyes whenever I blow my nose – the spiciness is already doing its best to clear
my nasal passages.
I have to confess I’ve had a bit of a panic since I’ve been
reading about chemo & radiotherapy. You’re not supposed to be able to cope
with spice. It’s to be avoided.
So it is I encouraged the
Fox to make us a lamb mince curry yesterday, & I’m doing a chilli today.
Indeed most of this week’s food includes spice. Admittedly spice shouldn’t have
much effect on radiotherapy. It’s mainly chemo that causes the problem &,
as I said yesterday, I’m still thinking of just accepting the bone
strengthening therapy, not the rest of it, so hopefully I should be able to
continue to enjoy my spices.
The thought of 6 months without spice was a nightmare!
