Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you're lucky.

  • I have half a dozen beans and rice recipes, from Red Beans and Rice to Rajma Masala to Nigerian Rice and Beans. But I'm looking for recipes a step up from that. Might try the homemade pizza, it's been a while!

  • I did burgers last week, made from ground beef. We don't really get tater tots 'round these parts, so I did oven baked potato wedges.

  • I can cook beans, just looking for some different recipes.

  • I'm no "it", I'm a Hossenfeffer!

  • My kids are strangley averse to sweet potatoes. Why, I don't know, but there it is.

  • Yeah, I'm doing leek and potato soup tonight, but the family will rebel if I serve them soup too often.

  • I do a tartiflette which is pretty similar to this.

  • Yeah, I've cooked Chana Aloo recently, but I'm looking for things that aren't just pulses and rice or beans and rice!

  • I'm not really looking for student-budget level recipes, more a step up from that.

  • We don't really have tater tots here.

  • Buffering...!

  • I did Gobi Aloo last week!

  • Indeed, I did a mushroom risotto last week!

  • Lot of good advice here on how to make good decisions and strategic choices to make a better life for yourself.

    But, I'm here to give a different perspective. I'm going to retire soon and I've never had a sensible career plan in my life that lasted. I've bounced from opportunity to opportunity like a piece of driftwood in the surf. I've made my career choices based on what seemed like a good idea at the time. I've been a company director, I've been broke and (fortunately only technically) homeless and everywhere in between. I've had stressful jobs and easy-going jobs. All of which is to say that plans are good but sometimes winging it can work out too.

    The other thing I will say is that while I've worked some shit jobs and some great jobs, I've always done a good job regardless. I've treated bosses, colleagues, and subordinates fairly and honestly. So those opportunities I mentioned a paragraph ago, they came because people I've worked with were happy to work with me again.

  • Have you considered the possibility that you are, in fact, a zombie?

  • They're older shows, sir, but they check out.

    Connections was the most mindblowing thing I'd ever seen. And I'd seen The Prisoner!
