It's a shame our kerosene dealers don't have any reserves and have to replenish their entire supplies every morning.

I find it astonishing that part of the discussion around this war is whether a a leader who started it will get bored with it or not

Colm O'Gorman: This is the best lasagne recipe to make and it is worth the effort This is a lovely dish to cook, the perfect way to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon perhaps.

I developed this recipe for my @irishexaminer.bsky.social column a few years ago.

Here’s a link of you’d like to try it. It’s a joy to cook, and even more of a joy to eat!

Thanks. It was!

A thick slice of homemade lasagne on a white plate, showing visible layers of pasta sheets, rich minced beef ragù, melted cheese, and tomato sauce. The top is golden and slightly crisped, with soft, saucy layers spilling slightly onto the plate.

I love a good lasagna - there are few things more comforting and delicious than and friends, if I do say so myself, this is a GREAT lasagna.

Golden-brown spiced orange cookies cooling on a black wire rack over a wooden surface. The cookies have cracked tops and a rustic, homemade texture, with warm natural light highlighting their colour and crumb.

Spiced Orange Cookies

Simple, fragrant cookies scented with orange, cinnamon and nutmeg. Make a double batch and freeze the dough so you can bake fresh cookies whenever the craving hits. Perfect with a mug of tea.

Full recipe below. ⬇️

Heat the oven to 165°C (330°F). Roll the dough into balls (about 30g each) and place on a lined baking tray, leaving space for spreading.

Bake for 10–12 minutes. They will look soft when removed but will firm up as they cool. Rest on a rack for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Shape into a ball, cover and chill for at least 1–2 hours.

Method

Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon & nutmeg in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, oil or melted butter, vanilla & orange zest. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to form a stiff cookie dough. It may seem crumbly at first but will come together as you mix.

Ingredients

125g plain flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
75g brown sugar
2 tbsp milk
30g melted butter
¼ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Zest of 1–2 oranges
Fresh grated nutmeg

For a vegan version, use plant based milk and olive oil instead of butter.

Makes: 10–12 cookies
Prep: 10 mins + chilling
Bake: 10–12 mins

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

It is nice to be on one of the few remaining types of social media that isn't absolutely riddled with genAI sloptivity. They may take our images and videos but I'll be damned if they take our pithy short-form written existential angst

A reminder that the administration spent the day before it launched a war in the Middle East feuding with tech companies over whether and how the AI models the Pentagon buys will be restrained from autonomously killing people.

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

“A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare…”

The political attacks on healthcare for young trans people has horrific outcomes. Trans youth deserve to thrive.
