Everything I cook is orange.

I discovered this when I decided to defrost something I'd previously cooked from the freezer. Only problem was, I - in all my infinite wisdom - had not labelled it.
"Well," I thought. "It's orange, so it must be spaghetti sauce or bean chilli." Easy.
Six hours later and said object is defrosted. And is in fact chicken tikka. Good job I like chicken tikka.

I had a sitdown and a think about these events and I came to the conclusion that EVERYTHING I cook is in fact orange. Or at least turns orange when you freeze it. I shall dazzle you with a list:

Bean chilli
Chicken tikka
Spaghetti bolognese sauce
Bacon pasta sauce
Chicken fajita mix
Sweet and sour anything
Sausages in barbeque sauce

The one exception to this rule was when i tried to make a stew of my own invention and it froze grey. Which is really not a very appetising colour, and just goes to show that I should not try to be creative in the kitchen ever.

What is it? Nobody knows.

Well at least you actually cook things properly - sandwiches - admitedly often with some kind of oranage sauce, tend to be my regular meals. I get to look forward to the likelihood that I might actually get severeal more actual cooked meals next year, lol.

If you buy the ingredients then I will gladly cook stuff.
But it will be orange.

Bean chilli is awesome and cheap! You get a can of mixed beans from morrissons, a can of chopped tomatoes, some dried coriander and half a chilli pepper. Chop up the chilli pepper and whack it all together in a pan. You just need to heat it up really.
Makes two portions. I have it with rice.
