I do most of the cooking in our household, and I usually do a pretty decent job. This was not the weekend for good cooking though.
On Sunday after doing groceries, I'll often put together some of the stuff from the previous week into a stew or a chilli. Got a bunch of tomatoes still? Make a chilli! Carrots and celery? Make a soup! Well, I had a bunch of tomatoes, and a bit of ground beef and sausage, and a few other veggies, so I made a chilli. It smelled pretty great, and I was pretty excited for dinner as I had been doing physical activity all day. We sat down to dinner, everyone had a few bites and we looked at each other and put our spoons down.
And that's when I realized that we keep the nutmeg and chilli powder right next to each other and I had made a horrible mistake.
Lol, that is quite the substitute! I can only imagine it tasted like tainted Christmas.
It was truly bad. I also learned while googling how to remove nutmeg taste that nutmeg is poisonous in surprisingly small amounts (ie. spoonfuls).
Oof, I didn't even think of that. Glad it wasn't too delicious then!
Yup. That's one of the reasons the TikTok nutmeg challenge was so damn dangerous.

For reference, 1 tablespoons is about 7 grams.
Have you guys tried a ‘Cosmic Crisp’ apple yet?
I started seeing them in grocery stores here last year and I've been buying them for the last few months here. They’re really good, very crisp and extremely juicy. They also seem to last longer than most apples in my fridge, so I haven’t been buying anything else since.
Yea I wasn't sure if the size was a standard thing but some of the ones at our grocery store are absolutely massive, as big as a softball or bigger. My wife and I have to share them because it's just too much apple for us in a single sitting.
I've had them and enjoy them (even though I'm definitely more on team Granny Smith).
