Rainy, windy, and cold on Halloween week? Oh, it's definitely chili season now. I recently refreshed and updated this chili from deep in the SK archives. It’s really quick, has a short ingredient list, and (finally) looks good enough to eat.

An English phrase for describing two things (or people) that are completely different is β€œlike chalk and cheese.” A similar phrase in Czech is jako nebe a dudy. It means β€œlike heaven and bagpipes.”

Sesame Peanut Noodles I always make a large vat of these since they're lovely to pick at in the fridge. Plus, although they're easy to make, you do need quite a few ingredients β€” and this holds true whether you're making a...

You may not feel like cooking in this infernal heat, but there’s very little involved in #RecipeOfTheDay, and it’s the perfect thing to be eating. It’s Sesame Peanut Noodles, to be tubbed up, stashed in the fridge, and eaten cold when needed! www.nigella.com/recipes/sesa...

55,000 people DEAD!

(53,253 Palestinians and 1,706 Israelis)
have been reported killed in the Gaza war

Hard to comprehend

Imagine the death of all the runners who ran the London Marathon 2025

End the war!

Lily’s Scones are #RecipeOfTheDay! I can’t quite say it’s a secret ingredient, but cream of tartar is certainly key to their success, as many of the lovely comments below the recipe attest.
