There are some days you really NEED comfort food. Yesterday was one of those days. The kids were horrible – my son was moody, my little two were arguing, my eldest raging hormonally.

I do not consider Rupert to be a danger either, as he is normally too busy having adventures to involve himself in a honey hunt.
