I've found that with some cream of celery soup and croutons, you got a meal to curl up on a cold day with. Mmmm...

I also dig mashed potatoes with milk, garlic powder, and margarine.; February 09, 2007 10:00 PM
super des said...: I eat mac & cheese every day for lunch!

My actual comfort foods are anything that someone else prepared for me and I get to eat. I'm not picky.; February 09, 2007 10:07 PM
Anonymous said...: i really love baked mac & cheese but any mac and cheese is okay by me. once, i almost bought a cookbook that only had recipes of variations on mac & cheese.

Lately, my comfort food is corn with mayo, parmesan, chili, and lime. this can be done on the cob or cut off and mixed. i got addicted to it in mexico.

and i never turn down a grilled cheese sandwich.; February 09, 2007 11:34 PM

Anonymous said...: Yeah, I'm all about the cheese. When I was finished my dissertation I ate brie and crackers for like a month. It was a little gross but so comforting.; February 10, 2007 12:35 AM

Actually, I have a lot of comfort foods. Hell, sometimes, really it just comes down to a strawberry milkshake.; February 10, 2007 1:28 AM
little light said...: Okay, yeah, with the beer, so long as it's the right beer. Or Jameson's or Maker's Mark, on the rocks.; February 10, 2007 1:46 AM
Veronica said...: I'm not sure that I actually associate food with comfort... but, grilled chicken, rice with dill and lima beans, and cucmber salad taste like being a kid in the summer. MMMMM.

I'm also big fan of a chain in Texas called Taco Bueno. Or, red beans and rice from Popeye's Chicken. And, cheesey tator tots from Sonic, and LIMADE!!!

Maybe my comfort foods are fast foods? Scary.; February 10, 2007 2:56 AM

Cassandra Says said...: Chocolate. Grilled unagi - actually pretty much any kind of unagi. Spicy Arabic lentil soup. Chicken with black bean sauce. Maguro sashimi. Bun with grilled beef. Persian rice pudding (the only dairy on my list, odd for a Brit). Almost any kind of well-made curry. Imam bayaldi. Jambalaya. Chicken pho with lots of chillies and herbs. Good old Texas chilli. Pozole. Coconut ice cream. Sticky rice with mangoes. Chicken tikka. Satay.

Anonymous said...: Mac and cheese, clam chowder, seafood anything, especially involving melted butter, cheese, salami, braunschwager (sp?), olive loaf, cold hot dogs, rice crackers, Cooler Ranch Doritos, hot tea with a ridiculous amount of sugar in it, though not the insanity that is "sweet tea" (I ordered boything (since he's from Texas, the poor thing) to make me some, gagged on the second sip, then put it in the freezer and used it to sweeten my tea for the next two weeks.) Yay junk food.; February 12, 2007 12:12 PM
