I've done that before so don't worry. Chocolate added to chilli is the proper mexican way of eating it, believe it or not!!

Oh dear!!! I have a habit when I am cracking eggs - and I have done this so many times - that I place the egg shell in the bowl and throw the eggs straight into the sink. Last time I did it I cursed myself then did exactly the same thing again- doh! Lorrainex
