The DH and I went nuts over this! Yes, it *is* quite spicy -- for us it was almost (but not quite!) too much, and we love spices, so people with more sensitive palates may want to try using less at first and build up. But, oh, isn't it delicious, and just the thing for a blustery, rainy fall day like we had today! Thanks Mariajane; I will be making this again and again.
