Winter Comfort Food
2 Dec 2010 09:25 pmWe haven't got much snow left - just a few icy patches now. But it has not crept up above 2 - 3*C for over a week.
It is the weather for comfort food... S2C and I have lived for the past few days on home-made lentil and bacon soup - once made it is easy to heat up bowl by bowl as required. But I have also been warming myself up when I get home from work with marzipan flavoured drinking chocolate - which is very warming!
I have also made some chocolate drizzled cranberry and pecan flapjacks as a start to the Christmas baking - somehow it seemed right for the weather!
If you are interested ( here is the recipe )
In other news D-d is snowed up in York - and beginning to fret over the college time lost. That's when you truly realise you are an adult not a child, isn't it?
