• 4 note: add chili powder slowly, as you may like less or more. it's all to taste. chili can be omitted altogether. my family loves it, however!
• 5 note: i usually use about a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, but sometimes i use more, depending on how much flavor i want. ymmv. this goes for nutmeg, too (i usually use just a pinch).
• 6 note: add about four tablespoons dark if you're feeling frisky!
