Steady as she goes on Lent tea-total...although there was a wobble the other night when my husband, the angel in our kitchen, confronted me with a 10-year-old bottle of Michel Lafarge Volnay, to accompany a celebratory supper of roasted venison with pumpkin and dried plums, garnished with roasted garlic.Until that moment, I hadn't quite realised exactly how much of a sadist M. actually is...

Your supper sounds delicious. I want the recipe for the pumpkin, plums, garlic bit...
Sadist is right - why hasn't he joined you in your Lent fast?
What a delicious sounding supper.
Did you tell him "lead me not into temptation"
Not very lent supportive of him.
