Favourite depths-of-winter dinner party dishes? I saw the winter citrus salad you made a while back and it's been a staple of me this January!

Yes, my favorite cooking season! As much as she annoys me, this Alison Roman 12hr lamb and potatoes is pretty much perfect. Then you've got this Ottelenghi Celebration Rice with lamb and chicken, great any season but I especially like it for brightening up winter. Another delicious option: roast lamb shoulder (scroll down, I personally do Samin's cheater tahdig instead of the rice pilaf, but a yogurt sauce is a definite must). Also consider: mole. There's a thousand good recipes but I like this Rick slow cooker one or (a different) Rick's Mole Sencillo. You can just eat chicken with the sauce or make mole enchiladas to kick it up a notch. For a veggie main, this whole roast cauliflower is absolutely delicious.

Sides will depend on what you choose but for dessert: I cannot recommend this chocolate mousse enough, but make a super tart raspberry/blackberry compote for the bottom (just raspberries/blackberries, some lemon juice, water, and a lil sugar; heat until it's all broken down, then put through a fine mesh sieve) and then some fresh whipped cream on top. Serve in metal champagne coups for peak chic.

Or, it's also citrus season! So consider celebrating with an amazing citrus cake.

Gideon has a whole protocol for when it gets too cold for Kremy. It's just how his brain works. He solved the issue like it was some machine acting up rather than his friend having a natural reaction to the cold.

First and foremost; GET WARM FAST. Whatever the quickest way to get Kremy warm is, that is the first step. Usually this involves wrapping a blanket around both of them so that Gideon can use his own heat to help him.

Secondly; consider how close the next town is. Is it less than an hour and there's no active snow storm? Great, hot foot it to the inn. Are they actively being snowed on and the next town is half a days walk? Find best cover and set up tents, his own fire could only do so much, and it's not worth the risk at that point just to get inside a building.

Thirdly; once in a relatively dry and protected space, remove any wet clothing and replace with comfy, dry jammies. If no wet clothing, removal beyond jacket and hat is unnecessary. Simply place sleepwear near the bed if Kremy wants to change later.

Fourth; alligators are evidently still able to drink during brumation. Grab waterskin and warm it a little. This will help with internal temperatures. AVOID ALCOHOL.

If all is well, simply prepare for bed. Grab a snack to assure internal fire keeps going all night. Ideal sleeping situation has Kremy on top of Gideon to avoid cold floors if they are in a tent, otherwise just having his arms around him in any other position.

There's only been one time when any other steps were needed. Thankfully they had the rest of the Krew by that point, so Gricko was able to assist, but Gideon really hopes he'll never have to do CPR again.

a grocery shopping tip for if you eat poultry / are budgeting / get exhausted by cooking like i often find myself: my supermarket sells large boxes of fried and roasted chicken in the deli section usually in the range of five to six bucks which i’ve found are usually more cost effective than the ones i find in the frozen section; i’ve been freezing those and reheating them in my oven (450F for around half an hour for the fried options has worked well and doesn’t dry out the meat) which has been nice for dinners when i’m too exhausted to cook anything else and usually pair it with a salad or other vegetables
