I made this for my "Survivor" group tonnight. It was wonderful. I tasted the "paint" and thought it was too spicy, however I decided to go ahead and add it to the Filets. The finished results weren't too spicy... they were perfect. Everyone in the group rated this a 5 out of 5, most were disappointed when they realized there wasn't anymore left.
