Comfort Food - Page 2

But then there are the green things--(no, not frog legs--I have never tasted them and probably will not unless forced.)

But spinach---oohh, baby--sauteed, baked in some cheesy pie, even canned or boiled. Mostly fresh, though. Yummy, love in my tummy.

And asparagus. And green beans. And peas. All kinds. And shall we discuss the various greens of the farm and field? (As in salads?).

Going now---hungry--not much of a hunter, but a pretty good gatherer.

Bon Appetit'
InPeace,
InLove

Hey InLove, it's not easy being green.

Good to see you 'round the boards.

Comfort foods for me would have to be:

Almost anything that is chocolate and moist, especially cookies with marzipan bits baked in.
And roast chicken, that is the tougher flesh just below the crispy skin - really lovely.

i Know there are more but i just can't remember... ^_^

oops. Where is that red-faced smiley when you need one. (I often use bacon to liven up some of my bland soups).

I feel the overwhelming need to explain and let you off the hook (there never really was a hook anyway!). In other words, no need for a red faced smiley here.

Mine was a conscious decision long ago. However, in accord with what I understand from the teachings of Paul, were you to invite me to supper, particularly not knowing I do not knowingly seek out pork, and supper was pork chops, I would gladly share what you offered with thanks. *I probably would not ask for a second helping*, but neither would I look down my nose or scrunch my face or make any ugly comments.

What a person chooses to eat is between them and God, just like so very many other choices we make in life!

Hi Juantoo3! Thank you for the kind reply. I understand completely. I don't drink, and given my druthers I would also avoid food cooked with alcohol, but if someone offers me a delicious meal cooked in wine sauce, I wouldn't bat an eye and would enjoy as I do pretty much all food, except lima beans. And okra.

And also sometimes between us and our hips.

Hi Mason,

Those sound like great cookies. I make some that are called "Terrible Cookies" that are loaded with chocolate and nuts and coconut and butter. I don't know if they are called Terrible because they are Terribly good, terrible for the diet, or if it is a reverse marketing ploy.

I had better stop before I start raiding my pantry.

Hi Phyllis, I missed your post before. I detect a carbo trend there.

I fully expected to see chocolate topping your list as well after that triple chocolate recipie you recently posted.

How about waffles, the real home-made kind, with lots of strawberries and whipped cream. Mmmmm.

I've never heard of this combination before. I like tomato soup, and I like peanut butter on bread, but to put it together, I just don't know...but for some strange reason my mother always served peanut butter sandwiches when she makes macaroni and cheese, so now I do sometimes, a combination my husband just can't figure out.

It would have to be a d!mn good chocolate (I've had the misfortune of tasting some chocolate that turn you off of chocolate for the rest of your life.) My Ukrainian friend was the one who "saved" chocolate by giving me some Russian chocolate, and that stuff is d!mn good imho. Anyway, the meringues have a decent chocolate taste (they contain cocoa and are dusted with cocoa.)

Anyway, waffles with sliced fresh peaches and raspberry sauce, perhaps a sprinkle of vanilla sugar (not the fake stuff, either!) Or a scoop of vanilla ice cream instead of the vanilla sugar.

About the carb trend, I'm not much into meat anymore (never really was, according to my brother.) Now, my friend Tyler, place a slice of rather unadorned rare meat (preferably a slab instead of a mere slice), then quickly move your fingers out of the way. Otherwise, it's not pretty.

the flavor of bacon mixes well with just about everything.
salad, beans, soup, roast, eggs, not sure about peanut butter, but it is good on a grilled cheese with tomato.

has anyone ever had NO BAKE COOKIES?
with oatmeal, peanut butter, cocoa & you boil them on the stove like candy & they set firm or soft whichever you prefer by the boiling time.

In late summer when the tomatoes are just ripe nothing beats a BLT on sourdough bread and a tall glass of iced tea.

Never had those no bake cookies before, at least not to my knowledge. They sound good but I am not very good at making candy, I always burn it.

cheers,

Sliced ripe tomatoes, slices of fresh mozzarella cheese, good quality extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and finely shredded (or whatever the correct term is) fresh basil. Alternate the slices of tomato with the mozzarella, then drizzle the oil over it. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper and basil.

The iced tea would go well with this salad.
