Today’s No Kings protest could be the largest single-day protest in U.S. history.

A beautiful and wise story, thank you. I painted this mug at a pottery shop last year, it’s been in the back of the cupboard, but your story reminded me of it.
It’s a bit rough but I shall have a cuppa in it !

That sounds like a plan.Time to indulge yourself a little (or a lot)
I find on a grey dull day the autumn leaves shine on the trees like fairy lights against a dark sky and look quite beautiful.
That pie looks delicious! I made this STAP(apple) the other day. Nigella says she can’t wait to try it🤣

I saw these a year ago ( actually on Halloween) The most bad, bad boys. They start off looking like alien eggs then burst out what looks like entrails all over the place . Best natural Halloween decoration ever!!

Midweek Treat: this simple, squidgy Banana Bread is #RecipeOfTheDay! I love all manner of banana breads, but I always return to this one gladly. If you make it, I do recommend you try a slice spread thickly with cream cheese. www.nigella.com/recipes/bana...

Banana Bread

I haven't done a tremendous amount of fiddling with this, but I did once make it, for friends who are more chocolate-crazed than I am, by replacing 25g / 3 tablespoons of the flour with good cocoa pow...

#RecipeOfTheDay is a Spinach and Coconut Soup that’s so ridiculously easy to make – you do not much more than combine a can of coconut milk with a packet of frozen chopped spinach and a dollop of Thai green curry paste – and yet so deeply satisfying to eat (or drink). www.nigella.com/recipes/spin...

Spinach and Coconut Soup

This is an almost instant, super soothing supper made easily from store cupboard ingredients. I have stipulated two tablespoons of Thai green curry paste, but do be prepared to add more if you like a ...

You go girl!! 😂
Please let me know how it turns out.
Also I only put in 1 tbsp of black treacle then 1 tbsp of golden syrup in the batter and also golden syrup in the sauce to make it lighter. (I don’t really feel I need to tell you this though as you are the expert)
Best wishes Nigella🌞💐🍰

I am swooning at the gorgeousness! I have a recipe (in How To Eat, I think) for baked apples in a calvados caramel sauce and adore the combo, but your apple and calvados STP is genius. I am inspired to follow suit – and will do asap

It was delicious ( although I say it myself☺️) So thank you for your comments. I also put a few chopped up apples in the base, (got to get rid of all these apples somehow, so I will try your baked apples in Calvados too!)

The world is full of angry, white man babies with too much money to do evil with. If only they would put it to a good cause.

Sticky toffee apple pudding with Calvados toffee sauce. (Trying to find what to cook with all the apples from our tree🍎🍎) this is a variation on @nigella.bsky.social sticky toffee pudding made with apples instead of dates and light brown sugar instead of dark.

It breaks my heart, those poor people. How do they carry on? Their resilience is incredible.
