Favorite comfort food . . .

[Miss Neecerie]

I don't have a particular comfort food, when feeling bad. However, I NEED macaroni and gravy with meatballs, and I need it often. Well, often enough.
It's something I like to have on hand at all times, and the two weeks or three when we're between and haven't made it, are tough sometimes.

cookies, and if possible eating chocolate chip cookie dough until I'm sick I also sometimes crave something 'hearty' which always ends up being some kind of Italian food dish

Leftover pepperoni pizza, the breakfast of champions.

I used to make that every Sunday, a tradition I adopted from my ex mother in law.

Home made stew & dumplings, or a turkey pot pie right after Thanksgiving. I think that's why I love fall & winter so much.

Cheers!

I was just thinking about one more thing. I haven't had a good phosphate in awhile. Is there anywhere in the Bay Area that anyone knows of where I can get one these days?

Thanks,

Jon

Pot roast with veggies (mushrooms, baby onions, carrots, celery and baby reds) and lots of gravy - just made that last week.

I also make meat loaf, gravy and mashed potatoes about once a month and/or when I'm "in a mood." And I make enough for lunches & dinners for a few days. Gravy on the veggies, A-1 or Worchestershire on the meatloaf.

And as others have mentioned - mac & cheese. Usually homemade from scratch. But in a hurry, I'll use "the blue box" except I never use the recipe on the box. I put in the powdered "Cheddar" and the butter it calls for, but instead of the milk, I use sour cream - however much it needs for it to hold together and be somewhat creamy. We've got several friends who to this day can't believe it's from the box.

Again Magneto, 10 more points. No I've not tried it. I think I'll try it when I get back from my trip down to Monterey. OOOOOH Phosphates. That's great that you have their exchange in there and everything.

Bacon. It comforts me after all of the burns I receive cooking it.

 

[G. Fink-Nottle]

Stouffer's Welsh Rarebit over english muffins washed down with Coca-Cola from those small glass bottles. And, butterscotch pudding for dessert.

I've tried making my own Welsh Rarebit. It never comes out as good as Stouffers.

my boyfriends mom makes those for us every sunday! unfortunately, on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, they are less comfort food and more like something ill endure for his mom! but before my stomach turned into a wimp i loved them.

my #1 comfort food is mac and cheese by annie's (the mild mexican flavor is the best). i love baking cookies from scratch too when im stressed out, but i never end up wanting to eat the end result, i just like baking.

Well, not in the Bay area, but if you're ever in Pasadena there's always the Fair Oaks Pharmacy. lol At least, DocIndyJones, Tony form Tarzana and Miss Neecerie recommend them!

Good topic!

For quick comfort food I rely on Campbell’s tomato soup (made with milk) or a homemade hamburger on pumpernickel bread with mayo and tomato.

For “special occasion” comfort food—i.e. when I have more time or I’ve had a major emotional blow—either homemade shepherd’s pie (best recipe I ever found was in an old Victoria magazine) or tater tot hotdish. The latter is so Midwestern that I blush to admit that once a winter I just have to make a batch, and that batch must contain hamburger and frozen green beans with loads of fried onions both on top and in the mixture. The top must be crispy to contrast with the mushy interior as well.

I also realized that I must truly be an assimilated Easterner since I automatically typed “casserole” instead of the Midwestern “hotdish” of my youth and had to change the term for accuracy.

Anything breakfast is my favorite, I can eat it any time of the day.
