11 h. ago Meera Sodha’s vegan recipe for butternut squash with noodles

A tom-yum style bowl bursting with aromatic Thai flavoursThis is probably a middle-aged thing, but it only takes something small to make my day. Usually, that’s bumping into a friend on the school run, spotting a cheeky green parakeet in the tree-tops or lighting a few candles at dinner in the evening. When it comes to food and today’s recipe, however, I rather childishly like to say the words “noodle soup” out loud, as if my mouth is pursing in anticipation of the noodles. I love using a whole butternut squash in a dish – that is where a cook’s satisfaction lies. And, for my sins, I adore slurping the noodles out of the bowl. Continue reading...

1 week ago I’ve got a new secret weapon against insomnia: a £20 strip of padded fabric

My wireless sleep headphones let me enter a one-woman sensory deprivation chamber every night. HeavenI’m having a night-time love affair. A blinding, unwashed, entirely distracting relationship that I turn to when everyone else in my house is asleep. My new bedmate whispers in my ear when I’m supposed to be sleeping and leaves imprints on my neck in the morning. That’s right: I’m talking about my new sleep mask with built-in wireless speakers.When I got pregnant last year, my body appeared to forget, entirely, how to sleep. Which was fun, as everyone around me started to joke rather grimly about precisely how tired I was about to make myself for the next 18 years. But then my husband presented me with a small, padded strip of grey velvet fabric, through which I can play precisely the sort of soporific audio that quells even my most brutal insomnia.

2 w. ago ‘Never fails to make my day’: readers on their feelgood movies

As Guardian writers continue to share their go-to comfort films, we asked for your picks, which range from a ghostly sports drama to a Hitchcock thrillerMy parents’ favorite, too. So much so they allowed me to watch it on a school night. I loved the arch dialogue (Deborah Kerr), especially the request for “pink champagne” that I used for years to torture my younger sister whenever she wanted to know what I was doing. Why, drinking pink champagne, of course! It’s on Netflix again so am enjoying it for the umpteenth time in all its glorious technicolor. Deepavali70 Continue reading...

3 w. ago The moment I knew: he did silly struts around the dancefloor. I’d never felt so at ease

Sara Pascoe was so comfortable in Steen Raskopoulos’ presence, she almost didn’t notice she was falling in loveFind more stories from The moment I knew series hereOn a night out many years ago, Tara, the older sister of a friend, was politely listening to me slag off my then boyfriend. “Blah Blah Blah, then he did this, then I did that, then I saw this on his phone,” I went on at her, enjoying my own drama.Tara was only a couple of years older than me but married with kids. Something I was not coveting for myself. Living in London, I was not dating to find “the one” (statistically unlikely) or to commit for life (too long), I fell in love for sex, gossip and the subsequent weight loss that accompanied my broken heart a few years later. I felt very “French” about the whole thing, y’know; lovers, life experiences, smoking and motorbikes*. I thought I was living life brilliantly, but on reflection Tara must have thought I was a knob.
