Winter comfort food

The week leading up to Christmas I got icky sick and was holed up with a box of tissues and little else. I missed out on two parties, barely did any xmas shopping, and watched way more Keeping up with the Kardashians than anyone should ever have to endure. The two meals pictured above might be what brought me back to life, beef stew and egg in a hole, which I fancied up with cookie cutter (small joys).  So Yum.
