Fighting talk, leftovers and future food.

1. Alec, brandishing a chopstick, challenges a fly to a fight.

2. Nick and the children fall asleep after lunch. I spend some time toasting and grinding spices to make curry powder for coronation chicken (I followed HFW's cheat's recipe and it was the sort of good that made me want to eat the lot and tell Nick that I had broken the bowl and had to throw it all away).

3. Ladling future meals into pots for the freezer. A good, comforting stock of red mince (AKA chilli, 'just plain mince with nothing else in it', bolognese, ragu etc).
