Spicy Sweet Corn Chowder

My Grandparents arrived today. Very exciting! I know they like something light after coming off the long flight from England, so I decided to make a soup and 'Spicy Sweet Corn Chowder' seemed to fit the bill. I couldn't find the chilli powder in our spice cabinet, so I decided to add cayenne pepper as a substitute, hmmm big mistake, how was I to know that it was extra hot? I think that this was possibly the biggest mistake I have ever made whilst cooking!
Mercifully, Superwoman (aka my mother- Lucy Capon) came to the rescue with lentils, milk, more lentils and yet more milk! With her help, I got the soup down from 'toilet paper in the freezer hot' to 'my brother still couldn't breathe hot'! which actually meant a creeping warmth through my body and a kick in the back of my throat, not dissimilar to a donkey! We got through LOTS of Turkish bread!
I am awfully sorry, but the chowder (just like many dishes before), could not be photographed with style.  I tried terribly hard to make it look nicer but was obviously unsuccessful!
