What's for tea tonight? (pt6)

[spring-peeper]

Seafood lasagne with fresh salad and pineapple upside down cake.

All my favourites and no-one else here likes it, which is ok because it's my 50th and no-one will be home.

I've never been able to recreate the hot stew at home I think it's one of those recipes passed on

I know it's got the usual - tomatoes, scotch bonnet peppers, onions and seasoning but it's got sometime else i dont know that gives it the distinctive taste...it's also got a mind blowing and bottom of the belly hurting hot hot hot taste but quite nice if u can handle it

Fish - tilapia
