Chilli with lots of beans and veg

I've jazzed up, played around with, dare I say...improved my regular chilli con carne.

Minced steak
Onion
Self crushed cumin seeds.  Used a new chopping knife.
Muscovado sugar
Chilli flakes
Garlic. Beyond belief.
Passata
Beef stock
Flagelot beans, black eye beans, kidney beans, green beans, sweetcorn, adukis, borlotti beans.
Chopped sweet potato
Salt and Pepper.

Left in oven for a couple of hours then served with jacket potatoes, guacamole and sour cream.
Fingers of garlic bread.
All very good but it's pudding I'm really doing somersaults over..
Tres Leche.
A milky cream cake from Mexico, the recipe a new found one from Jane Asher's cake book. I made it this afternoon with butter, flour, eggs, sugar.
Evaporated milk, condensed milk and double cream.
According to Ms Asher this is more of a pudding than a cake. But whichever way you look at it, it's marvelous.
Can't wait to serve it to Mr Horsehound and Hairy Suit.
Mum's having a fish pie.
