Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised. Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

Our first cenote dive in Chikin Ha, Riviera Maya, a few weeks ago. Luckily there was a professional photographer on hand for another gig but he took this amazing shot of us as we neared the exit. The visibility was unreal.

#vegan #veganfood we crossed the border to NL yesterday and picked up a tub of the best peanut "butter" ever. After eating this, every other blend tastes like candlewax. 100% peanut. Nothing added or taken away.

#vegan #veganfood #chillisincarne We made another variation of vegan chilli last night. This time including walnuts and mushroom. Very enjoyable. Mexico here we come.

#scuba #divesky Hi bluesky divers. We have booked our next dive trip to Playa del Carmen in April. It's our first time in Mexico for 30 years and then we were diving only around Cancun. I would really appreciate recommendations of must-dive sites.

#vegan Curry night, I tried two new recipes based on Latifs Inspired videos. Brinjal Masala and Saag Aloo, both turned out great. The Saag Aloo is probably the best I have ever eaten...

#veganfood, #vegan last nights offering was a Mexican Kale dish inspired by a Chef Buck recipe I saw on YouTube. We made guacamole and Pico de Gallo and it was all so tasty.

#vegan curry night. I wanted to use up some TVP so I soaked this in a broth of vegan beef oxo and tikka masala spice mix for 15 minutes. Squeezed the moisture out and fried it for 10 minutes. I mixed up my sauce in the Thermomix and fried up some paprika.

I added the sauce, butternut squash pieces, some frozen spinach and tomato pieces, cooked on mid-heat for 10 minutes, added the TVP and cooked for 5 more. It was awesome Al the texures and flavours were just right.
