Here in San Diego, I'm waiting a few more months for the cold weather so that I can cook up some piping hot-but not spicy hot-dishes. Meanwhile, one can go to most any restaurant here & find "hot" food which the faint at heart & stomach (my tummy included) should never go near. By the way, when I lived in Minnesota (minn-KNEE-so-TUH), I was quite confused about the term "hot dish." It confused me even more when someone anounced that they had brought their "famous deep dish hot dish" to a potluck supper. It was a very tall pot of chili, which up there is called "chili hot dish."
