Unfortunately the Mrs is a key worker so I’m relegated to house husband/daddy daycare/home educator/forum lurker

Anyways, a new skill acquired over the last couple of weeks, homemade pizzas, real dough not pitta breads, toppings to suit whatever's left over in the fridge the only real cheat is using chopped tomatoes and passata rather than chopping a tonne of fresh so damn easy, and results are spot on. One to get the kids involved in for sure, especially if you like making a mess.

Even Italians tend to use pre-chopped tomatoes these days - provided it is a decent brand. That said, later this year I will probably havve near on a tonne with te number of plants I have!

Almost weekly occurrence in our house. Kids already involved. Should future proof fussy eaters they may invite over as they grow up, and great for having people over. If you haven’t already, get one (or two) of the ceramic pizza stones. Makes a big difference.

No probs mate, but postage from Barry to the Boro will be a bit hefty

I'll look into that, cheers mate, as it stands I've learned that my skills at making a circle needs vast improvement, although scalene triangles seem to be my forte it's good fun though, missus nephews coming over later to make one and a big mess, though not necessarily in the same order.

The less circular they are the more “rustic/authentic” they look!

We just roll em out with a rolling pin here; no fancy frisbee work...

I've also tested my creations out on my missus' family, it can be highly entertaining hiding fresh chillies under mozzarella, and a good spoonful of cayenne pepper mixed in with the dough can give a real 'uplift.'

I've learned that my skills at making a circle need vast improvement.

I went on an Indian cookery course many years ago. We learned how to make chapatis and the teacher couldn't understand how mine came out
almost perfectly round every time.

What she didn't know was I rolled them out and then cut round them with an upturned mixing bowl as a guide!

You would love my pork curry - it requires 3 tablespoons of Kashmiri Chilli Powder!

Or may be you should sample the chilli sauce I have - dip a cocktail stick in it, remove and let the remainder drip off so none remains except what has been absorbed, suck or lick teh stick then reach for a pint of milk! Put a drip, half the size of a match head in a tin of tomato soup and you can certainly tell the difference!

I'm a bit of a chilli fan myself, got all types, brands, sauces, concoctions and a load of dried chillies in the cupboard waiting to be unleashed, but I've got to choose my time, as my missus doesn't like heat in her food so unless she pxxxes me off I normally have to temper the heat to suit her palate, but I do love a Naga chilli in most things.

Hav eyou tried any from here: https://www.justchillies.co.uk/shop/wcf-chilli-sauces/ I have the "God Slayer" and that is potent.

No, though thank you, as I'll be ordering a couple from there tomorrow, the God Slayer and Regret look particularly pant shixxxng. I've tried variants on most of those sauces by other manufacturers or companies and I prefer stronger richer tastes like the Naga than sharper ones like California Reaper. I've got some 'super hot' dried chillies in a sealed bag (Fatali, 7 pot reds, Dragons breath) that I've had for months and I quite honestly aren't sure what I can make with them that wouldn't glue me to the pan for the rest of the day.

I like the Winter Chilli and Reaper Habanero. The Winter is mild but has a different warming feeling. When I next order I may well include a Mango.

The God Slayer is the one that you did a cocktail stick in and hand it over to someone to try ... my brother-in-law wanted to try some one evening, he then called his son across who is a typical 20 yo who thinks he can eat/drink anything - he lost the challenge!

I'm very intrigued from a masochistic point of view as to what point does the heat become clinically unbearable, California Reaper and Trinidad Scorpion are normally around 2 million Scoville units, and reading the website you linked the God Slayer has around 6.4 million via capsicum extract and the Regret 12 million. How hot is too fxxxxng hot? What do you actually use the God Slayer in Mike? Does it take over the meal and overpower flavours?

Also, I don't know if you're familiar with these, my father turned me on to them a few years ago, they're not 'hot' per se, certainly nothing like the majority in your link but they are very tasty and complement virtually any meal, the founder is a campaigner for the older generation and are quite unlike a lot of pastes or condiments I've tried. A smear on cheese on toast is a good starting point!

I will put about a drip of God Slayer - end of a teaspoon just in the sauce by 2-3mm and stir that into a tin of baked beans or tomato soup. The Regret will be too hot for me! Other times, half a teaspoon of Reaper Habanero in the same.

Those sauces look interesting.
