Practice Blogging

Welcome to our class blog. Here's your opportunity to practice commenting on a blog topic. Here's the topic:

Comfort food: Sometimes when you've had a rough day, and it's cold and wet outside, you just want to go home, get warm and eat some comfort food. My favourite is tuna casserole, with lots of cheese. What's yours?
