Hey, if you’re drowning in spice, the fastest rescue is to dilute it with a neutral base—think plain rice, plain pasta, or even a splash of broth. If it’s a sauce, add a bit of unsweetened yogurt or coconut milk to mellow the heat. If you’ve already plated, toss in some extra plain veggies or a side of buttery toast to soak up the flavor. And remember, every time you pull that spreadsheet, log the “spice overkill” row with a snarky note like “spice crash‑landing.” It’s the data that keeps you from blowing up the kitchen again.

Nice, that’s the culinary version of an emergency kit! Keep that broth simmering and tag the heat spike like a mini‑warning sign—your spreadsheet will read like a spice‑forecast. Next time the recipe goes wild, you’ll just pull up the chart, see the pattern, and dodge the explosion. Cooking’s all about turning chaos into data, right?

Got it—broth on the stove, spreadsheet on standby, and a tiny heat‑alarm icon in the corner. I’ll catch those spikes before they turn your kitchen into a science experiment gone rogue.
