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.

☕️

@Former-Member, I love Indian food served as a Thali, with a selection of several mix and match dishes plus rice, naan, raita and chutney, but it's usually too much for me to eat at once. Dahl's always nice with it too, but by now methinks it's too late to add another dish.

Evening all,

Hope everyone's day has gone well...

Ive been a bit snowed so not had a chance to look back and catch up.
Trying to do some more now after dinner but I think my brain has reached its quota for the day.

You would always be welcome @Anna88.

Tea was a success and thankfully visitors did not outstay their welcome.

I did toss up whether to do a lentil dish but decided against it @Smc as two of the guests rarely eat anything considered remotely exotic, but would have done if we had a vegetarian guest. I did not use any additional chilli as they even find that too much.

Was happy with the veg content, apart from the pumpkin roasted with the lamb ended up doing an Indian stir fry veg mix with cabbage, beans, carrots and cauli. The meat dishes went down well, as did the sides.

The best thing post meal is that I married my dishwasher....

I tried a sausage casserole tonight ad-lib,
S2 wasn't particularly fussed but darling just told me how much she enjoyed it,
Apparently I have to try some variations now 🙂 (Beef, chicken, pork, lamb etc,) good all round winter food.

I always feel a bit chuffed if meals go down well @Determined, must have been alright for a 4 out of 5 family rating.
