    your own personal recipe? :)

    Just a pretty standard one really! Put onions and peppers on the bottom, mince on top (didnt bother browning first), kidney beans, tinned tomatoes, bit of bisto, chilli powder, couple of handfuls of red lentils, some garlic, mushrooms, a bit of water and I think that's it. Was really nice tho, the mince was slightly chunky because it wasn't stirred to death which I really liked

    One of mine has chicken stock being made from the carcasse (from the chicken cooked in it yesterday) and the other is going to have a loaf of sourdough bread when it's finished rising.

    If anyone finds their spag bol a little watery, why not use some reconstituted soya mince, that soaks up loads of fluid.
