Posted at 15:10h, 12 AprilSpaghetti aglio olio or pasta carbonara. Anything pasta with cheese, onion, bacon, any meat, an egg mix. Second favourite for the night watches soup in cup. Any of those msg rich powdered soups. Lastly ramen the spicier the better.

Posted at 17:37h, 12 AprilHere is a one pot wonder we borrowed from a Rick Stien programme. Spanish bean stew, soften onion & lardons, add sliced chorizo, tinned tomatoes, tinned baked beans, simmer until the red juices from the melting chorizo rise to the top. Serve with crusty bread & red wine.
