I’ve no had them for ages either. I used to like a fish finger piece.

I’m having chuck pea and sweet potato stew with cous cous.

I’m making treacle toffee too and some almond and blueberry cakes.

Spag bol

Sod that bollocks that you get in a can or a jar.

Six plum tomatos skinned, chopped and marinated in red wine for an hour or so now, sod mince as well, 650g of cubed casserole beef, chopped up a bit and covered with salt, pepper, flour and chilli powder, bunged in the pot with the garlic, onion and dried herbs, oh and lardons. The stock is the residue of two roast chickens (my lad is back on to his fitness) and a couple of beef oxos. Once it's all bubbling then I'm chucking in a green pepper and some sliced mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce and half a tube of tomato puree. Served with some fresh spag of course :grub:

for something different try this recipe Stoooo, it's gorgeous

I use shin beef cut into chunks and habaneros that I grow (so I know how hot I'm making it) then slow cook for hours

edit - and I use a bean mix that Asda do, barlotti, cannellini, and red kidney I think

Bookmarked, I will!

I used to hate chilli because we used a bland microwaveable bought in item when I was running pubs in London, it was horrific. I like to use joined up meat in it as well but it took me a while to come around to the idea of kidney beans for some reason. If you do a search of Maddog's posts on here he has an absolutely gorgeous Texas chilli recipe :drool:

I'll have a search now :smilin:

oh and the one I linked to, if you try the sauce as you're cooking it, it tastes a bit odd - slightly vinegary, the first time I made it I was a bit worried, but as it slow cooks it all melds into one delicious huge flavour, omg I need it now

Oh I love collie rice. I make a breakfast hashbrowney cup/nest thing with an egg in it with colliflower rice. It’s delicious. And surprisingly good for you.

No idea what to have tonight - something quick and simple, scrambled eggs on toast or ham and mustard sandwiches perhaps. :cuppaT:
