‌💌‌ Community LO2VE Week ‌💌‌

[RafaC]

Is all you need, innit?

With The Feast of Saint Valentine just around the corner, we thought that'd be a good idea to celebrate the most noble of the human feelings here on the community throughout the week. With the success of its past edition and the great time we all had with the Christmas activities, we thought it'd be a good idea to make a collaborative effort with you guys.

@lewys-gp  and I have messaged some of you already but if you have a topic you'd like to post as part of the LO2VE Week, send me a PM and we'll happily include your planned content here 

So far we have:

Monday 14th of February	@Mi-Amigo's  White Room Quiz 'Love" Edition  / @Bambino's Love Week Laughs Starts
Tuesday 15th of February	@lewys-gp's Welsh Valentine's Day
Wednesday 16th of February	@J9el's Love Week Finish The Lyric
Thursday 17th of February	@Cleoriff's Love Week One Sentence Story
Friday 18th of February	@RafaC's Rom-Com Word Scramble
Saturday 19th of February	@TallTrees's Menu for Love Week
Sunday 20th of February	@Pennywren's Love Week Poem

Also, if romanticism is not your thing, why not trying to start a cheeky anti-love thread? Joking aside, we know that sometimes these dates can be hard to some people, so that kind of light-hearted approach to it is more than welcomed here. After all, we all should aim to love one another and that includes loving the anti-lovers 🤣

Topics on non-romantic love are also very welcome ☮️

✌️

What a superb showing of a beautiful range of your home made food @TallTrees 

I could eat everything you've shown above. There are plenty of things I've never tried but would love to give them all a try.

Well done. Absolutely gorgeous. ❤️

PS on Monday, you need to ask @lewys-gp Or @RafaC  to move this to a thread of it's own. Simply because you've posted it on the information thread. 😊

[TallTrees]

I just posted it under @RafaC 

Love week thread.  No one about weekend. 

Glad you liked the food @Cleoriff 

Those meat balls are fantastic 

 Home made loads of flavour because I love garlic, onions,  herbs, spices, made with homemade bread crumbed in blender.  

Food makes every one happy 😊 

After day in garden here you need to get 😊 😃 😀 😄 😁 

[Cleoriff]

I just meant  it should have it's own thread @TallTrees but it doesn't matter for now.😉

Those meatballs do look fantastic. As you say they are so versatile, you could have them with various different meals. Simply lovely. 😉

Thanks @Cleoriff 

Very nice in it's own thread ~ a "Food" thread would be good as well  @Cleoriff 

However, there are not many here I suppose who would want to put in "recipes" or something often enough, to keep it alive.

Those meat balls can also go into a pitta bread or rolls with salad and a sassy sauce and no need to heat them up (in my case they will need to be thawed though 😆   ) 

There are many menus for this type of food, it would be worth learning more about.  Cooking for the "masses 🤔" and freezing it can save money.

I was taking an interest in cooking hot pots.  Cooking the main ingredients on the cooker (in a cast iron pot) then putting that pot into a highly insulated box for about 7 hours to finish cooking to save on fuel.  

Maybe have to look into that again.  If fuel is going to rocket in price, then more mass cooks will be energy efficient too.  

There are Dutch ovens which will cook on my Gas hob and bake and roast very fuel efficient, I have one called an OMNIA OVEN  I have always been interested in the "pioneering spirit" 

although got to say like my home comforts, but if necessary can become quite innovative whilst still trying to be comfortable.
