OK, I like cooking. It's my simple pleasure. This photo was only taken a few weeks ago, but it's a simple pleasure of some of the ingredients in the world's best chili recipe.

Sorry I broke the rules. didn't rename the photo with my handle, but since you all know it's me, I'm leaving it. If I get disqualified, I'll live happily ever after lol.

Yes and these too, but the first pic is my entry. P.S. It's not just a bowl. Could feed a dozen easy.

Hmm, i don't think it is fair to allow a member to skip the rules put in place by another moderator just "because it's me".

I do have the will power to make everyones stay here at Ozzu a living nightmare. So, do enjoy! :lol: :wink:

Seeming as i reckon i'll get my fingers cyber slapped for saying this i feel i have to add the text "just joking" somewhere in this post to make it look like i am actually kidding on.

Read this how you will.

Here's my entry:

Nothing beats a glass of malt whisky after a long day!

I actually took this image last christmas. I bought my brother in Norway a bottle of whisky, but then remembered that in order to post this from Scotland to Norway would cost me a fortune as I would have to pay alcohol import tax... So instead, I sent this picture with the caption "It's waiting for you here!".

Pretty expensive Whiskey. Never expected to see a photograph of that on here because the site is full of mostly Americans, i wasn't sure whether it was common to see that over in the States.

I too am from Scotland. Where about are you from?

Good photo and entry.
