What's your comfort food?
Mine is spag with meat sauce or chicken congee.
I like congee too. Comfort food for me is usually hot pot with dumplings and whatever tossed in there. Oh and roast chicken. Can't beat that one.
I love lamb pot roast stew. I made this lamb hot pot and omg, yumm! Mashed potatoes, corn, stews, congee are my comfort foods.
Oh mashed potatoes. Gravy. Butter. Salt and pepper.
Is that not the most ridiculous phrase? Comfort food?
Whenever I hear that, I think of some obese lady sitting at home, crying. But between sobs, she is stuffing her face with food, and says something like..
"WHYYY?!?! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME JOHN?!?! *SNIFF* .. *SNIFF*.. *MUNCH* *MUNCH* .... *SNIFF*... WHYYYYY???????"
Good thought, Marik.
I DO use food as comfort. I like to eat something special if I'm celebrating, something simple that's warm if I'm feeling cold/sick. Hmm. Maybe I put too much importance on food. Should stick to a simple/sensible eating plan regardless of what I "feel" like eating.
FROM NOW ON, [span style="text-decoration: underline;"]I will only rely on alcohol for comfort.[/span]
The problem about using food for comfort is that I end up gaining too much weight...it really sucks! I think I prefer the fluids way, ie smoothies, wine...
a cup of tea makes everything better
Tea and vitamins...
I forgot about tea... (and water) fills ya up very quickly.
Do you eat comfort food when you're stressed or just whenever? I think I snack more when I'm stressed. Not good...
Totally. I also snack more when I'm tired.
an orange
grapes
My favourite comfort food is chicken pot-pie. I also like a roast chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and carrots. The smell alone is comforting.

Anyone remember this book?
Nope....but I do remember Where the Wild Things Are. (such a big stink about that book...goofs) Was my sons' fave when he was little.
Wiener Schnitzel, Lasagne, Curry, Moussaka, Salmon.
I'm off for some comfort food in a few minutes.
Bowl of congee or noodles.
I almost forgot about adding pho as my comfort food...and kimchi noodles.
wine, cheese and crackers on a cold and snowy or rainy day
Not a bad choice, SD.
a day like today would be a perfect day for my comfort food.
wine, cheese and crackers on a cold and snowy or rainy day
Mmmm. That sounds like a wonderful comfort. Add a crackling fire, and it's out and out decadence.[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a056.GIF" border=0]
Somewhere along the line I forgot bacon sandwiches.
just bacon, Gophie?

Yes, just bacon, Purelife. Although occasionally I add a bit of HP sauce.
I like a BLT on toasted white. Ketchup to dip.
Right now? Anything fast food or foodstuffs from home that tastes like I know it.
HI RUSS !
You're so right. There's nothing like cooking from home. Even if it's BAD home cooking, at least you know what it's SUPPOSED to taste like.
