Does anyone have any ideas on something that's fairly simple and easy to
prepare and make, and something that doesn't really cost too much? I also
don't really care to BBQ partly because N is not around to man the BBQ and I
don't really care to stand outside in the yard by myself BBQing while
everyone else is inside!
Any ideas on something other than tacos or BBQ burgers?

What about a big batch of chili, with toppings and
cornbread and so on?

Best wishes,
