marching orders

March is proving to be a difficult month- all freezing wind and low temperatures. We are being battered by a gale at the minute so my thoughts have turned to all things comfort.

The wood-burning stoves are roaring, just out of the oven the rhubarb crumble is waiting for custard and tomorrow night's stew is put-puttering gently. Tonight, total comfort food is in order- risotto with parmesan, peas and pancetta... then time to choose a blanket and finish Andrew Kaufman's 'All my friends are superheroes' - a quirky but lovely little book.
