What's on the menu at yours today to keep you warm and cosy despite Ciara?

[hobnobsaremyfavourite]

Sausage and apple plait which I'm actually making myself
Broccoli, cauli, carrots, peas and onion gravy
Think I might even make a syrup sponge for pudding
With all that stodge I challenge even Ciara to blow me off my feet

I had 12 bell peppers in the fridge so I blended them with spices and made rice.

The sandwiches that my husband made to eat on the train. But eating them at home as the train is cancelled. Hopefully he will be able to travel tomorrow instead.

The wind has snapped a huge tree right in half at the bottom of the field opposite our house - it was a massive, mature tree, and it’s just broken right off. So sad. ☹️

Oh how I love reading what people are eating!
Slow cooked gammon in honey with cranberry sauce, roast potatoes, cabbage, parsnips, carrots, broccoli, babycorn and Yorkshire pudding here. Chocolate cake for pudding. Gin.

Fillet steaks, cheesy leek champ, mushrooms. Almond pancakes and lemon for pud.

morrocan chicken casserole with giant couscous in the slow cooker for me, smells lush

I'm cooking a smoked ham currently, ready to shred and add to my homemade spiced lentil and red pepper soup.
Smells divine and takes me back to my childhood 🙂

I've made a big pot of chicken, veg and potato stew in a rich gravy. We will have it with crusty bread to mop up all of the yumminess!

@SuperMeerkat perhaps you should turn the national news on the radio

hope you don't get delayed by any fallen trees

Pesto fish with chilli & garlic courgetti and avocado salad.

Sugar free jelly for dessert.

I'm making homemade chicken katsu curry with gyoza and pickled cucumber. Bring on dinnertime!

This thread is making me drool!

We're having dal with rice and a selection of pickles. If I'm feeling keen I may make raita as well.

Porridge for breakfast
A big bowl of Homemade dhal from last night's tea for lunch
Homemade vegetable soup for tea. DP is having jam roly poly with custard for pudding.
Also made the most amazing banana loaf with some overripe bananas. Had to sample just a teeny corner.

We had chick peas rice with mince meat with potato and peas. Making pancakes for kids now. And dinner maybe jacket potatoes with tuna topping or fish fingers burgers. Yum yum....

Mmmmm I had a big bowl of sausage and lentil stew with a side of salty roasted courgette.

Anyone else thinking we need a 'drool' emoji?

Dinner will be gammon with roast potatoes and lots of veg.

I decided to make banana bread about an hour ago as we had 5 very overripe bananas. Looking forward to that coming out the oven imminently!

supermeerkat at the risk of pointing out the blindingly obvious, it really depends on where people are in the country. I wonder if the people whose homes have been flooded not far from me would appreciate being asked why they're making such a fuss by someone who happens to be in an area which is not so badly affected.

Peanut butter hot chocolate, coffee, focaccia and some Indian food I bought yesterday at the farmers market. I’m so glad that I heard about the storm while I was on the train yesterday… Otherwise, I would have been completely caught out.

King prawn chilli spaghetti

bean chilli, cheese served in wraps and then a cup of tea with a gold bar (or 2)

Gammon, cauliflower cheese, red cabbage and chips.

Why does even a lovely thread like this have to attract a twat
Law of averages I suppose
Just finished at the gym
So off home shortly to put dinner in the oven and pour myself a gin and tonic
Hope everyone is keeping safe and warm

And can anyone share a guaranteed to be yummy dhal recipe please
