Just made a chilli con carne with some tins of tomatoes/beans from storage that had BBE 2017 - texture of beans not great but tasty enough!

I’m with you on the chilli tip.
Made a big pot with fresh oregano which in itself is spicy and with toasted ground whole cumin. With of course a horse load of garlic, chilli and fresh coriander whizzed up with tinned tomato sauce from Pizza Express (if you spot them on the shelves I really recommend them, you could spend a fortune more to get a little better)
I’ll make this look a lot prettier with all the trimmings of Guacamole, coriander, yogurt and pickled jalapeños on rice later.
Got some meaty pork ribs. Thought I should try the Coca-Cola marinade. Got this in the fridge marinating for tomorrow or Monday.

Homemade pizza. Fortunately my wife is an excellent bread maker so she made dough with 00 flour. I use mozzarella, Parmesan and taleggio as the cheeses. If you haven’t used taleggio before then give it a go as transforms pizza

Bit of a basic home creation this evening, Chez Dave.
King prawns and thinly sliced chicken breast, rubbed in Jamaican Jerk seasoning, then gently fried in butter with a dash of fish stock.
Served over wild rice … and maybe a couple of Red Stripes, mon.

Does that require a beer can inserted up an orifice?
No, I’d have thought that the usual attention required for barbecue cooking would be more than sufficient.

Hi, yes it does. I felt sorry for it early on in the process.

Home alone shouldn’t mean a grubby take away. Steak with mustard sauce with broccoli and pea mash. Obviously washed down with a nice red.

Gazza I was only thinking today that I’m extremely happy with my setup. If you were to ask me 30 years ago if I had to endure my current hi fi I would have thought it was heaven. Man needs to know his limits.
Mind you that could all change tomorrow. 
Totally agree…back in the day i wanted a 52 preamp, never happened, this time around i got a little further. Thats it for me other than some cables and odds and ends😁
Food looks nice.

I enjoy cooking, hate take away. When I was young I wasn’t sure I’d get to my age anyway. So everything is a plus from then on.

We have stopped dinner ‘tonight’ since retirement & now ‘we lunch’.
Main meal in the day is healthier than going into an inactive evening & bed on a full stomach.
Anyol’ways … just finished prepping …
Roasted chicken breast, marinated with chilli, ginger, coriander & lime.
Roast veg - bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, garlic + olive oil.
Whole grain rice in turmeric.
Fruit salad - yet to be made, but with natural yogurt
