I've almost had this type of accident. Best to put the seasoning in her hand or a little dish and then add to the pot.

Speaking of chilli, I used to be able to buy this soy chilli mix in a box, to which one would add water and tomatoes and kidney beans. I swear it tasted just as good as chilli made with ground beef. Then all of a sudden, the store stopped selling it. I don't even remember the brand name, I just knew where to look for it in the aisle. I can't find any other product like it either.
