A year of songs:
I said this morning that one thing I want to do this year is to post more music content on here. So (foolishly) I've set myself a challenge of posting a song each day. To make it harder I'm imposing 2 rules: I can only use each artist once, and the song titles should cycle A-Z.

A year of songs, day 337:
Today's Christmas track is a pop and country music hybrid. The lyrics use some well worn - and slightly sickly sweet - images to describe a romantic holiday season.

Porchetta is a celebratory Italian dish usually made with a large rolled pork loin. My smaller version is made with a pork steak, stuffed with bacon, onion, dried fruits and nuts. Served with potato al forno.

During December, each of these posts will be a Christmas song. We begin with one from the 40s, written by Irving Berlin and recorded by Bing Crosby. It speaks of something many long for... a blanket of snow on Christmas morning.

A simple pasta dish tonight of rib ragout with tagliatelle. But simple doesn't have to mean quick. It can be something left to cook for a long time over a low heat, quietly puttering away.
