Buge, yes that's what you put into chili. That is the powder that you put into chili... I don't see the complaint...? I'm confused.

Cayenne powder is just that, powdered cayenne peppers. Chili powder is a blend of dried chili peppers, cumin, and garlic.

It means that instead of chili, I have a pot of molten-hot magma.

If the jar says "chili powder", it's mostly garlic and cumin.

If the jar says "chile powder", it's ground-up chiles.

That trailing vowel is very, very important, because (as Buge found out) the two are not interchageable!

It wouldn't even have been a big deal if it was, say, Chipotle powder, or Ancho powder. But the difference between powdered Cayenne and Chili Powder is that one is measured in fractions of a teaspoon and one is measured in heaping tablespoons.

at least chili is usually pretty cheap.

Yes. Except I measured the former in amounts reserved for the latter. I'm not sure if I should eat it anyway. All told, the ingredients cost me about $25, but that's still a lot of chili to chuck.

Or cause them to burn out from the roots. Both are good.

Add cheese to mitigate.  Or turn it into a huge pot of chili and eat it for a week.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Well, depending on how much Cayenne we're talking about here, cheese might not help at all and adding more chili might just mean ruining more ingredients.

Honestly, I think you should pitch the whole batch. Occasionally, food failures come along. This is one of them. Trying to recover from the mistake will, at best, give you intestinal cramping and gastrointestinal distress.

This is my portfolio.

At this point I'm willing to say anyone who has the chance to hire me and doesn't is missing out. I am awesome at this.

Can I make an offer of free rent and I'll buy the ingredients? This was not the link to click on while eating prepackaged pizza for dinner.

(Srsly though good luck I don't know why people are being so stupid and not paying you money for that stuff)

In the past I've done things inspired by movies for diners seriously into film.  Favorite ever was a group dish of fifty poached quail eggs with bacon, brunoise and a dab of hollandaise.  No man can eat fifty eggs Benedict!

Tonight was the first game inspired dish I ever made though, and it was based on Eversion.  It's a soup/stew served in a deep, narrow dish, so each element is covered by the one above it.  At the top, boiled peas and glazed carrots.  Very familiar.  Then you get into broth, a perfectly safe beef consomme.  Roasted shallots with a hint of star anise (aside from being tasty, it enhances meat flavors), then under that, braised beef heart.  Then a wide thin piece of pasta, and under that, like a kind of half-ravioli, sealed off from the broth, is an organrific filling.  Heart, kidney, lots of pepper, brown butter.  On the very bottom, snails in port sauce.  It gets weirder the deeper you go down!

And the best part: disturbing each element causes something new to happen to the broth, changing and thickening it.  The glaze on the carrots and shallots, the strong flavor of the heart, the ravioli turns it into a thick stew, and the port sauce from the snails turns it all dark red and gory.

I wish, I wish, I wish octopus worked with the other components so I could have the end of the dish be really, truly eversion-y, maybe move the red up into the ravioli in the form of some blood and make the sauce for the octopus ink-based, but it's already pretty busy and I just don't think I'd be able to get it to work.  Something this goofy has to be a great dish on top of all the cuteness, or I'm just being an asshole to the people eating it.

Anyway.  EVERSION: THE FOOD!  Shoulda followed it with an IWBTG dessert course.  Next time.

I've just been thinking whipping stuff around might be involved.  Sugar shell full of cherry puree?  "Throw it at the plate as hard as you can for the authentic experience."

Whatever it is, it should involve disparate elements from countless other desserts, and be structured so that nobody could finish it but Niku. Also, the moon tries to kill you while you eat it.
