Chilli

Chilli , yum yum . I guess this is the first time i enjoy eating chilli. Is not because i am so narcissistic into thinking that other chilli is not great and my chilli recipe is the best. Well, of course i hope so , but the truth is usually in a restaurant the chilli is cooked with minced beef and i dont really fancy beef.
