Dishes that are easy, all in one and soon to be your new favourite midweek mealsI love this combination, but feel free to switch up the black pudding for some nice herby pork sausages, or a decent handful of firm chestnut mushrooms, if you’d like to keep it all about the veg.

Drones intercepted in at least 13 regions including Kharkiv, Poltava, Sumy, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv and Odesa, according to Ukrainian authoritiesVolodymyr Zelenskyy is urging for peace in the region following the large-scale Russian attack. In a post on X, the Ukrainian president wrote:Every day, our people stand against aerial terror.

In total, nearly 1,150 attack drones, more than 1,400 guided aerial bombs and 35 missiles of various types were launched this week.

I also thank those on the ground who save lives and respond to the aftermath of shelling—the state emergency service, medics, and the nationa...

Spaniard on the ‘pain and anger’ of his sacking at West Ham and rejecting an immediate return to management“And then suddenly they sacked me.” Julen Lopetegui is running through the reasons to be cheerful – safety secure, 17 shots at the Etihad and the physical stats, an identity emerging, a winter window and a kinder calendar coming – when he uses one of only two English lines in as many hours, delivered as if the final page of a story.

The period of mourning, as he puts it, is over.“My father died and, although you can’t compare them, personal and professional mourning came together,” Lopetegui says.
