Spicy food for a chilly day

Yesterday it continued to be rainy and windy and just generally dreary. I decided to combat the drear with a thick scottish wool sweater and a big pot of spicy Chana Masala served with basmati rice, chutney and a cucumber salad (definitely needed to cool down our tongues!).  Then we watched Mega Shark vs Crocasaurus and drank a cocktail that had too much bourbon in it (I might have a heavy had when it comes to mixology).  So, you know, a stimulating evening of debate over the science behind the film and the level of threat that giant sharks pose to nuclear submarines.
