1/2 a bottle of beer

Cooking instructions

allow to cook through then add the chopped tomatoes and beans and lager
allow to simmer for about half and hour stirring regularly to prevent burning

Best time to eat this
this is hearty meal that I find works very well after a heavy night of drinking as a pick me up. however i have served this up to my house mates before to much appreciation.
The whole meal cost around £5 (when bought from my favourite shop LIDL) so that is around £1 a serving a thrifty and filling meal.


Early mornings

I am a keen amateur photographer and I've found the wonderful thing that is very early mornings. it allows to go out and take pictures without people getting in the way. However, this has somewhat buggered my normal sleeping pattern ive been getting up at 5/6 am to travel to the places i want to photograph and have therefore suffered the curse of going to bed at 10 pm here are some of the picture I have managed to take
