No photos, but I made my world-famous-at-home Poor Man Pasta, a relic of my university/bugger-all income days, as it's my staple during these wintery days:

In a pot, heat some oil and slice in 2-4 cloves of garlic; fry lightly. Chuck in a 99c pack of penne pasta (substitute with shells, curls, spirals etc), as well as hearty pinches of salt, pepper and chilli flakes too.

Once cooked, strain, then pour into a bowl. Cut a small knob of butter and throw it on top, then sprinkle oregano/herb flakes on top. Stir it all through for melty buttery garlicy chilli hot pasta goodness, and you've got enough for at least 4 meals.

Shame this question wasn't asked a couple weeks ago, when I made slow-cooked pulled pork with multiple types of chilli, lime, whisky, spiced rum, chipotle, coriander/cilantro, as part of a soft taco/Mexican night with my housemate; I may still have a photo of the feast somewhere.
