Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge; Favourite Comfort Foods


It's Wednesday and perhaps it's time for another Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge post courtesy of Long and Short Reviews and today's topic is favourite comfort foods and why (plus recipes).

I'm one of those who loves food with a bit of flavour in it and often gravitate towards Thai and Chinese dishes, but I enjoy food from a lot of countries. A few of my favourite comfort foods are Italian Lamb Ragu, Romanian Paprika Chicken, and Thai Satay Chicken. I honestly doubt I'm the only one who finds comfort in a bowl of tasty pasta though.

I've found a nice recipe of lamb ragu online that I've made several times over the last couple of years. While it takes a while to make, it tastes really good. When it comes to paprika chicken, well, as I'm a bit of a Dracula geek, I doubt it's to anyone's surprise that I'm mentioning a dish from that book.

Anyway, here's links to recipes in case anyone wants to make any of them at home.

    I used to love Thai food! I haven't eaten it in years, but you've just reminded me to add to my list of foods to reintroduce. 🙂🙂

    I mean, come on, who wouldn't want to eat Paprika Chicken? Jonathan would be proud. Usually when I'm going for a comfort food I don't have the oomph to do extensive cooking, but I'm fortunate enough to live in an area where a lot of different kinds of food are available.

    These sound amazing. I haven't tried lamb ragu, but might need to. We like lamb. Chicken is also a staple at our house. Thanks for sharing.

Announcing the 2025 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
Even though I'm technically having a hiatus for my book blogging at the moment, I still wanted to announce the 2025 Diversity Reading Challenge, just in case anyone wanted to participate in it and start planning their TBR pile. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADHD and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/m...
