For those times when your hand just slips when you're putting spices in a special pot of goo. If you get heavy handed with the chili powder in your Chili con Carne - dump in a can of crushed pineapple. It virtually disappears so no one knows that it is there, it leaves the flavor of the chili - but takes out the heat. Also if you slip putting salt into something throw in a couple of peeled potatoes and cook it all together for awhile. Before serving pull out the potatoes. It's this or keep diluting until you have it weak enough and enough for the entire neighborhood.
