“One cannot think well , love well, sleep well if one has not dined well. ” – Virginia Woolf

This weekend wasn’t that busy. We did not have to go to any get together or host a party or run errands or transport the kids back and forth for classes.

Also the weather was cold and breezy to the point where staying at home seemed all the more enticing.

Thats when you indulge in your senses and tastebuds. A simple aromatic , slowly simmered meal perhaps in the comfort of your home is all that is needed to beat the winter blues.

Winter is on my head but eternal spring is in my heart – Victor Hugo

Hugo was right ..comfort food surrounded by your loved ones in the glow of sparkling scented candles is the spring during some of the longest icy cold winter nights.
