We’ve made it through the week, and the weekend is just around the bend. Whether you're powering through the day or taking it slow with a cuppa, I hope there's something ahead that makes you smile.

Let’s talk comfort food—those little bites of happiness that never fail to lift your spirits. What’s yours? For me, it’s a thick, creamy milkshake and crispy chicken wings. I was feeling a bit down the past few days, and honestly, that combo worked wonders. It’s amazing how food can bring a little joy, isn’t it?

So, what’s your ultimate pick-me-up? Something homemade? A childhood favourite? A little indulgence you can never resist? I’d love to hear what brings you that warm, comforting feeling!

Seafood marinara.
A touch of oil in a frypan, cook Marinara mix with garlic, a splash of white wine. Cook Fettuccine and serve with Marinara over the top. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Mine has to be a very fresh finger bun with butter or a very fresh cream bun.

I also love hot chips. These are definitely my comfort food.

But now my chips are made in the airfryer and I really limit deep fried chips

For me it is homemade Macaroni Cheese which I made yesterday as I am quite nervous and frightened about the impending cyclone....being a Brissy girl.

I'm in Brissy as well. Are you tiring of the wait also? I just wish it would hurry up already. I feel like we've been prepared for so long and it just keeps slowing down. Stay safe

Any roast dinner but lamb is my favourite. Follow up with bread and butter pudding.

Alfred is certainly taking its time and this waiting is awful as I, too, have not experienced a cyclone.
You take care and stay safe.

Glad to hear they are OK. The coastal areas will bear the brunt unfortunately. I'm not in a flood area of Brisbane fortunately, main concern for me will be wind/rain and I believe the noise of the wind
