I've been cooking a lot recently and decided to put the more successful attempts on my blog. By "successful" I mean the ones that I deem good enough to feed to guests (should there happen to be any).

A note on quantities: I try to cook enough for at least two meals since I freeze the leftovers and have them on nights I don't have time for cooking, or just don't feel like it.You may have to adjust the quantities to suit - just use the same ratios.

So, without further ado: my version of Chile con Carne - not from a recipe book but probably inspired by a recipe I saw before.
