After such a hefty session I needed something to mop up the boozy toxins.  Perusing the kitchen cupboards for inspiration I came across a bag of pearl barley and I tracked down this recipe for a pearl barley risotto on the Channel 4 food website:

Pearl barley risotto with roasted squash and red peppers.  It might sound  like it'd be a bit chewy and virtuous but actually it was gorgeous and perhaps healthier than a normal risotto, as pearl barley isn't quite as refined.  It certainly did the trick of making me feel wholesome again.
