Dunno about anybody else, but food is my comfort zone, my happy place. So bugger off doom and gloom, tonight we have homemade beef curry and basmati rice, and a Yealands 2021 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc. The Sav' Blanc is for me.

Two things I love about the food that has come up on this thread - the diversity, and the love.

@Bloodyshittystorms

I've ordered pizza, if ww3 is starting I'm not dieting !
My husband said those exact words this morning before he left for work 🤣 it's an excellent philosophy I think!

@Moonface123 that's such an achievement! Your post brought a massive smile to my face, there is always happiness in the world somewhere! Enjoy your very well deserved pizza hut

Congratulations @Moonface123 that’s wonderful. Enjoy your celebrations.

I've got Covid so isolating in the bedroom while hubby looks after the baby and cooks dinner. We've agreed on a simple chicken nuggets and chips, deposited outside my door later 😁

TheVillageShop · 24/02/2022 18:58

Lovely thread.:)

Tonight baking in the oven are 2 salmon fillets (drizzled in lemon juice with a few dabs of butter), 2 jacket potatoes and some vine-ripened tomatoes drizzled in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. On the hob some green beans are bubbling away. After we have a choice of raspberry trifle or chocolate trifle. Yum!

Deathraystare · 24/02/2022 19:07

Will have to be something quick when I get home so it will have to be a ready meal - probably macaroni cheese and a hot cuppa tea as I can imagine I will have to wait quite a time in the cold for a bus, yes, even in London!!
