I do love a Christmas ritual , and making these Edible Christmas Tree Decorations, which are #RecipeOfTheDay – is one of them. I say edible, but when my kids were little, I cruelly mixed in a load of pepper so that they wouldn’t pull them off the tree to eat them all! www.nigella.com/recipes/edib...

Crispy Halloumi With Tomatoes and White Beans Recipe
This vibrant vegetarian dish combines savory broiled halloumi, juicy cherry tomatoes and creamy white beans for a satisfying one-pan meal When broiled, the halloumi becomes golden and crispy on the outside while staying soft and chewy on the inside, adding a deliciously hearty texture to each bite Highly adaptable, this recipe allows for any canned, creamy white bean that you have on hand, like butter beans or navy beans, and thyme can be used in place of oregano

They don't get talked about much anymore but Roald Dahl hosted two different horror anthologies & they had wildly different tenures.

Way Out (1961) lasted only 14 episodes and 4 of them are lost media. It only survives through bootlegs.

Tales Of The Unexpected (1979-1988) somehow had 112 episodes.

The PM being asked in an interview about scandals in Reform & Farage's (lack of) response.

"He hasn't got the spin to call it out" - criticism of Farage for the failure to call out racism within Reform & the failure to explore the links between Russia & Reform.

Why won't Farage clean up his party?
