Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

It was at boarding school so I didn't turn down any free food, even if it was snails 😄

I like the taste of Garlic @Anna88 You're right, you wouldn't know then what they taste like (without it)...

I heard they were rubbery...

Any Squid or octopus that I've had has always been rubbery like chewing elastic bands...

Not keen on it at all...

Snails ar one of our Lenten food options .... they are actually cultural to the Mediterranean diet as much as they are to the French cuisine, but that is far less known .... same way seaweed is cultural to Nordic and Celtic cuisine but many people only associate it with Japanese dishes.

Just sayin’ .....

@Former-Member @Anna88 @Adge @Smc @Determined @Bunniekins ... anyone I have missed .....

Usually cooked in garlic in the Mediterranean, but as typical to many of their dishes, it also includes onion and tomato, and the regional herbs ..... and served with salad and crusty bread.
