Feeding the Forty Thousand!

Having had a few too many lagers yesterday lunchtime in the club, I invited 10 people back for more drink and some food. Thank heaven for the larder! I threw tins of tomatoes, baked beans, kidney beans, fried onions and sweet corn into a wok added veggie mince, garlic, ready cooked rice and chilli powder and voila, a vegan chilli. I also gently fried a bag of kale, added garlic, two tins of chick peas and two teaspoons of mint sauce. I put the two saucepans on the table along with corn wraps and let everyone help themselves, it was a feast fit for a king and even the die hard carnivores went back for more. Desert consisted of chocolate and coffee. A lovely afternoon spent with good friends. Now excuse me, I have a little headache that needs seeing to!

  2. What fun!!! And so great that you had all those beans in stock. Your larder is coming into its own. One thing I miss about England is jollies down the pub. It's not really the same here. Happy new year again, Fran!

  3. I agree with Val, no pubs like they have in Britain. It's always surprising what you can whip up in a hurry.

    Happy New Year to you Fran,
