    You couldn't trust that mrbadexample to do it, he's useless. Getting the hang of the cooking though, the chilli's lovely, almost as good as I would make. Cheerio :wave:

    That was seriously good. Somehow, you don't seem to get the same effect tasting a bit as you do eating it. And it kicks like a mule. :D

    And I've got loads left! :j

    Oh yeah...that was me special chilli plate. It's 14" across. I'm stuffed. :D
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    The stew's easy enough to remember. The cauliflower cheese is etched into my brain (but I do still have it written down), and the chilli's easy enough, I've just to play around with the herbs & spices to see what works best. That wasn't far off though. ;)

    And yes:

    Tip 1: When mixing flour and water for thickening, use COLD water, COLD d'ya hear? :rolleyes:

    Then mix it with the warm stock before adding to the hot stew. :D

    My late gran used to clean everything with Vim, even the inside of the teapot. My dad often wondered why his tea tasted kind of strange. :-)
