Many years back when my then other half was away working for a few days I cooked up a sort of mince and vegetable stew. I added some small capsicums that I had gathered from a plant in the garden. After putting everything in the saucepan and washing my hands I touched an eye that had an itch. That is how I discovered that they were not capsicums but chilli peppers. After a lot of washing I finally tasted the stew: it was far too hot for the children so we had scrambled eggs on toast. Not wanting to throw it away I boiled it up once a day for the next few days. When my wife returned I told her of the disaster and she said let my try it. Turned out that a bit of maturity and boiling every day had calmed it all down and it turned out to be quite nice.
