We are joining up with our hosts, The Canadian Cats, and the Weimie Twins to present our recipes this month, and the theme is sauces.

Charlee: “Our Dada loves spicy food like this!”
Chaplin: “Yes, he routinely ignores recipe instructions that say to seed jalapenos or other hot peppers.”
Lulu: “What about like habaneros?”
Charlee: “I think he does seed those.”
Chaplin: “Yeah we said he loves spicy food, not that he’s insane.”
Wow….hot stuff!! An excellent recipe and versatile. Would it freeze well?
