David, Val, Jo, Janet and Lee joined us for one of our infamous ‘chilli-nights’.
I’d created the chilli a couple of days ago and left it to germinate fester improve, and then popping it into the sloooooow-cooker just after 2 this afternoon, for five hours of simmering – yum yum! All that was needed was then to add the mushrooms (I find it’s always best to leave mushrooms ‘til last, otherwise they tend to live up to their name – errr, mush!)
Ann prepared the sides – garlic bread, sour cream, grated cheese whilst I added the finishing touch providing some extra jalapeno chillies for those wishing to live dangerously! The only thing left to add was Uncle Ben and his rice, and we were sorted
Val supplied the desserts – rhubarb crumble, profiteroles and steamed gingerbread – yummy!!
We finished the evening with teas and coffees all round, whilst the dishwasher did its stuff. Heck!, we even had time to go for a walk afterwards.
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
