Not cooking: http://homefluffyhome.blog.com/2012/11/17/street-food-you-cant-beat-it/

And cooking: http://homefluffyhome.blog.com/2012/11/12/quick-meals-cooking-from-scratch-5/

Both fantastic and highly recommended!

...Also, love the sound of the braised beans with bacon one commenter recommends above. Yum.

this is the best idea EVER. Especially because I go into indecisive, I-want-to-eat-all-of-it meltdown at the bakery when faced with mint choc gateau, honeycomb cupcakes, amaretto white choc gateau... pics here if you want to drool on your keyboard: http://homefluffyhome.blog.com/2012/11/16/cakes-continued/

Cinnamon is good, but you have to get every part of the coffee right to get something really special. Here's my own favourite coffee 'recipe' - http://homefluffyhome.blog.com/2012/11/07/a-latte-look-forward-to/

It's the best place ever to find thoughtful presents, and if you're a design lover you'll find yourself lost down the rabbit hole for hours on this site. I just blogged about the cutest and most stylish bookends available and three out of four of them are from Not On The High St! http://homefluffyhome.blog.com/2012/11/13/best-ever-bookends/

I keep my fireplace pretty simple because the brick and tile work is so beautiful (And busy!) that I don't want to detract from it. But if anyone has any suggestions of what might work well here, I'd love to know! Here's a pic -- http://homefluffyhome.blog.com/2012/11/05/come-on-baby-light-my-fire/

For simpler fireplaces or those with blank walls behind, how about an enlarged version of this DIY map art? It's personalised and pretty. http://homefluffyhome.blog.com/2012/11/11/i-left-my-heart-in-37-77493-122-419415/#

Aaaand, third time lucky. Let's hope it's worth it after all that!!! Whisky dish soap bottle - great host gift: http://homefluffyhome.blog.com/2012/11/02/im-on-the-lamb/

This link WORKS!!

I'll try that link again. Lamb and cider casserole: http://homefluffyhome.blog.com/2012/11/02/im-on-the-lamb/

It's making my mouth water all over again.

oh yummmm. It reminds me of chorizo bean stew, which is one of my favourite winter dinners.

There is nothing heartier or happier than a stew or casserole at this time of year. I literally just posted this recipe for lamb and cider stew, which is so easy and so satisfying on a cold day. It's also great for big numbers of people! http://homefluffyhome.blog.com/2012/11/03/im-on-the-lamb/

Perfect timing - I literally just blogged about the best ever use for apple sauce. Check it out! http://homefluffyhome.blog.com/2012/10/31/oat-ally-scrumptious/

I'm fortunate enough to live in England, where we normally have rainy, but pretty mild weather. Although I *was* born during one of the country's biggest ever storms, in October '87, which ripped off roofs and tore down trees.

I think I would use the time to prepare for future disasters, because until you're in one, you don't really know what to expect. Maybe make a list as you go along of all the things you wish you had bought/prepared, go round taking pics of all your personal belongings in case you need to claim anything on insurance, go through emergency procedure with family so they know what to do, etc.

Also, lots of silly games to get everyone laughing and raise spirits - no power needed!
Try to sing one song to the tune of another.
Play word association or word disassociation.
Tell a story in relay by saying just word each and going back and forth to complete the ridiculous sentences - you never know how it'll go.
