Snow and Chillis

It snowed here yesterday morning and given the chance I would have been on my mountain bike sliding around in the woods. Unfortunately, I was on my way to work in the car. I did get a short run done in the evening, after I'd finished cooking, but by then the snow had gone. Tomorrow I'm supposed to be visiting a customer up in Blackburn and I'm hoping that an interesting trip doesn't get snowed off, at the moment BBC Weather can't make up their minds.
In my opinion there's only one antidote to cold weather and that's hot and spicy food. Last night I made a tuna based pasta dish that contained 6 chillis - 4 Jalapenos and 2 Thai. With that much 'stopping' power I didn't need to resort to some of the more esoteric condiments stashed away in our fridge (Viscous Viper, Jersey Death, etc). I made enough for two days and so tonight I'll get a second hit.
