Way Hot Chicken Curry!

Amy prepared chicken curry for dinner tonight. My two little one's didn't like the curry, but ate rice with butter, cinnamon, and sugar. The older children enjoyed the curry, but they drank a LOT of milk with supper.

Everyone is really enjoying the new recipes that Amy is making each week. Next week will be Japanese food, which was requested by Madelyn. They may never look at my cheese stuffed meatloaf the same again.

Amy cut the amount of cayenne pepper in 1/2 and it was still quite spicy.
