My dad is going to be undergoing a number of long treatments and testing for a number of health issues that went undetected for a very long time. I'm going to be prepping a lot of freezer meals for my parents as I live in a different state. Aside from bone broths and veg soup does anyone have any soups that freeze really well?

Preferably ones with no tough roughage, no nuts, and hopefully can pack a nutritional punch all while appealing to a man who loves garlic and onion, but few other seasonings. My mom is quite capable of making anything to go alongside (like noodles or rice) the day of so it wouldn't become gross in the freeze/thaw process.

I know I've seen several apps recommended here for trains and the Tube, but I can't find the posts when I search. What apps should I download? We'll be traveling around London, plus Bath, Salisbury, Lyme Regis, and Windermere and using trains/buses to get around.

Thanks!

Edit: citymapper has been downloaded. Is there a good app for train schedules? We have rail passes.

Does anyone know of an Indian buffet that's open? I don't care if it's only open weekend/weekday. Ordering takeout for dinner tonight and realized how much I miss the variety available, but they seem to have all closed during covid.

Currently on a rewatch of S23 and have a question. What makes everyone trust Seiger so much? I know very little of his background - only what's been put on TC. He seems to be playing fairly and not screwing over his competitors, but is he known for being highly technical or something? Everyone seems to ask him questions or to look over their dish and I know it's common for TC chefs to have their "person" to ask for feedback, but it seems like everyone leans on him at some point. Is this editing, his culinary pedigree, or something else?

This is probably a super niche question, but does anyone know if the Max8 or the other newer one (-800?) planes are pressurized differently than others in the SW fleet? For the past 2ish years, whenever I fly on one for more than an hour or so, I end up feeling like I'm up at altitude in the mountains. This doesn't happen on other SW planes, so I'm not sure what's going on.

For a few days in July, I've rented a cottage in Lyme Regis that comes with a beach hut. We'll be two adults and two teenagers. What are the general (spoken and unspoken) rules of using such a thing, if there are any?

My international flight out of Heathrow doesn't leave until 1630/4:30pm. I'd really like to do the Victoria and Albert museum before heading to the airport, but I'm not sure how much time to leave myself to wander the museum and grab lunch. Any insights or suggestions?

Has anyone booked a tour with them or have other recommendations? Looking to do a private tour (with pickup from Bowness or Windermere) of Hadrian's Wall and wanting a tour guide who is really into the history of the place and will geek out.
