Just to warm myself up tonight I'm doing a chilli. I've used a mix of crushed tomatoes and cold coffee for the liquid. I'll let you know how it works out.

It turned out very well. I had to thicken it slightly, but it was incredibly tasty. - Makes a change from adding chocolate.
I've got a soda loaf cooking at the moment, I've used grapefruit juice as the acid agent. - Fingers crossed!

The soda loaf was incredible! I'll be using that recipe again.

I fancy faggots, mushy peas and chips, Margaret. - And there's nobody to stop me! Merry Christmas.

Margaret,
I intend to spend the day on my own, with my CDs and the cat for company. The answerphone will be on and the door will not be answered!
A couple in the next street has gotten it into their heads that it's about time I became attached again and keep inviting me to parties where there are unattached women. They have requested my presence tomorrow evening. - I won't be going!

I changed my mind about Christmas day. I did a Fray Bentos Steak and Kidney pie, Mash and mushy peas. - I have to say that I really enjoyed it.
Scrambled eggs on toast for today after yesterday's 'blow-out'!
Roll on tomorrow when I can get an afternoon pint in peace!

Very nice! I didn't think Fray Bentos still did pies. I don't like kidney though.

Margaret,
They still do a whole range, including cheese and vegan (I think). I refuse to buy them at full price (£2) but when they're discounted I'll get a few in.

I see Fray Bentos was taken over by a Scottish firm called, Baxters in 2011.

I quite like Baxters products. They're an interesting company to look at, they have quite a history. - They also seem to be quite healthy financially.
