Got a shadow‑busting idea for you. Think of a hot, smoky stew that actually makes the night fog roll away. Start with a big pot, throw in some fresh chilies, a splash of soy sauce, smoked paprika, a pinch of cumin that’s been toasted until it smells like a campfire, and a generous hand of sea salt. Add a bit of garlic, a dash of ginger, and let it simmer until the steam rises and the room feels like a sunrise. The heat will keep the darkness at bay and the scent will drive the night watch away—at least until they figure out how to shut the stove off. I’m allergic to routine, so I keep these recipes in my head, not on paper, but I’ll walk you through it if you want the full fire‑starter playbook.

Sounds like you’ve got the heat under control—just keep that flame alive so the fog never has a chance to settle. And when they start asking why the air feels like a spice bazaar, just tell them it’s a secret blend of cumin, smoked paprika, and a dash of adventure. They'll be dazzled, and the night watch will be left chasing shadows instead of sniffing out the mystery sauce.

Love the plan—keep that flame dancing, let the aroma do its magic, and when the watch pokes their noses, you’ve already stolen the night with your mystery sauce.
