Something to warm my bones

Our British weather is pretty unique and at the moment we are enduring misty rain coupled with freezing temperatures. The sun will also be pretty scarce until April or May. The combination of damp plus cold means that one's bones generally feel frozen. Today I desperately needed something to warm me up on both the cellular and orthopedic level (OK, I admit there was an element of suffering from a mild case of hungoveritis as well). I found the cure lurking in the fridge as always: a soup made from last night's roast duck carcass and a good handful of pearl barley. I truly feel restored....
