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.

☕️

Yeah @Faith-and-Hope we gotta keep a bit of perspective for family breakfasts ...

My boy would not touch it if I did it.

I agree @Appleblossom - part of keeping special things special is reserving them for celebration times. This was a more everyday version.

But still nice enough for a Sunday @Faith-and-Hope Tbh I have never made an orange sauce like that so put unsalted butter on shopping list ... and will have a go ...

Not sure how sorted things are for you....with children and divorce its never simple, but sometimes it gets simpler ....

Cheers Bella

Good for you @Appleblossom @regards giving it a go ❣️ I am trying new things, when I have the energy.

Divorce from the narc-x is still complete 🌵, but it was always going to be. Hoping the truth comes to the fore progressively “encouraging” him to do the right thing.

thanks for the love Apple 🌸

@Faith-and-Hope

I have been enjoying cooking more and more, guess it comes with territory and one bonus of getting older. Its so good to know you all these years, even if only anonymously online.

That sounds lovely @Faith-and-Hope , do you have an orange tree or just had excess fruit? My mums property had a good load of citrus trees and we would just make heaps of juice to use up the fruit, and give it to the neighbours. Plus the birds and possums got a good chunk too 😛

I would love to have some citrus trees in the future.

And @Appleblossom sounds great to be trying out new recipes, my inspiration comes and goes. I wonder if we have a recipe/ cooking thread on the forums somewhere?

Just excess fruit @LookingHopeful

Munchies is actually a thread @Appleblossom launched on the forum a while back.

Im not sure which space to have a catch up in @Faith-and-Hope.
