Chilli's and Sweets

I was cynical when Little Man came in to tell me he had found chilli's in the garden, because the baby had trampled most of the plants and I had given up on the peppers and chilli's. So I was pleasantly surprised when I followed him out and found a handful of chilli's growing and some more just beginning to form. These will be useful in just about every savoury dish we make.


The recent clearout of my kitchen cupboards led to the discovery of a packet of dried milk with a date of February 2009. I suspected that the milk might still be useable, so decided to make barfi (Indian sweet a bit like soft milky fudge) as there was a recipe on the back of the packet. It took ages and the end result looked a bit darker than barfi usually does. I haven't tasted it yet, but if it's any good I might try some other variations.
