Eating Solo 2: Lazy Dinner on a Saturday Night

I was too lazy to cook last night, so I decided to have an old favourite, a tin of Heinz “Big Eat” Ravioli Bolognese. Of course, if you’re anti-tinned meals you’ll absolutely hate it. But if you like tinned meals, this one is pretty good. The sauce is really quite tasty and meaty. I have […]
