If I'm tired and I just want a soup, I use baby food. Rather than cooking and blitzing anything, I can just add broth or cream, any chopped veg that sound good, and a little sriracha. I love sweet potato, spinach and pumpkin... At the end of a work day in winter, it's quick and warming.

lamb stew chunks, bone in, with lemon and dill, roasted on top of potato slices.

Oh dear. i love me a hendricks gimlet. I might sound 75 when I order it, but I'm bringing it back and spreading the joy!

I'll agree with most of the other Brits on here. Sausages.
Last time I went home my aunt made an entire 8 pack, they were hot and ready when I got in from the airport. Best welcome I've ever received.

My mum put tea in my baby bottle, and when I was old enough, I got tea in a sippy cup. It was usually my mother's homemade indian tea (i guess chai, but none of the commercial stuff ever tastes the same as the spicy milky brew churned out of the giant copper kettle). Since about the age of 6, it's been PG Tips, British Rail strength, spot of milk, no sugar. Repeat at least 3 times a day, more in times of crisis/joy/surprise/sadness/contemplation/exhaustion/anger/stress/frustration/boredom...

I did that. It was terrible. My 4 latte a day habit made sure that I would get the headaches for a while. Its that throbbing right by your right eye that feels like a tiny man pushing from the inside. That lasted 4 days. I moved to black tea. It didn't work. In case your body also punishes you for your caffeine excesses and will not respond to other forms of caffeine intake; excedrin migraine works wonders. It has a little caffeine in it so your body gets what it's asking for, but not as much as if you bathed in coffee (which is what you want to do, scalding be damned).
Good luck with lent!

I cook more for me. I read something about an ingredient and it takes me somewhere I've never been before. I travel a lot for work, so cooking is especially rewarding (a stove? a fridge? my own mugs? heaven). This site pushes me after a hard days work by tempting me with that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
I might be dead on my feet right now, but chinese roasted pork belly buns for $8? Let's do this.

My mum and I are in the process. We're using shutterfly to put it together, it's ridiculously simple. It's a great bonding experience and I'm learning to make all of the fabulous food I grew up eating.
We're also hoping to get it done by next christmas so we get together once a fortnight to make something together and put together the page.
The best part is making a giant indian meal for the family. Everyone knows we're making family favourites, so everyone shows up!

I'm gone 2/3rds of the year, and when you get in after a 9 hour flight coming off of 2 weeks of restaurant food, it's nice to eat something green and healthy. I always have broccoli, peas, edamame and corn stashed in my freezer, it makes it so easy until I have the time and energy to shop for real food.
I do refuse to ever use frozen spinach and carrots though, I only like them raw.

My family in England sends me as many tubes as they can, as often as they can. I'm surprised I don't have cavities, I ate about a metric ton of these as a kid.
For those who don't like the ridiculous sugar content of parma violets, try Leone violet pastilles, they taste exactly the same but without being ridiculously sweet AND they come in adorable tins.

Chowards is a poor substitute and should only be used in dire circumstances.
