Comfort Food

I'm just tired of dining out (no veggies other than salads), and the weather has been so cool and rainy that we've just wanted to stay home. So I've been on a COMFORT FOOD COOKING EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!! I've cooked more meals in the past few days than I've cooked in the past month. I've made vegetable soup, baked chicken with steamed broccoli, filet mignon with baked taters, lean ground beef burgers with light wheat buns and a salad, Italian sausage and green peppers with pasta, and this morning cheese omelettes. YUM!

As an aside, I'm going to take a break this afternoon. Yesterday was the first time Mom has been lucid enough to carry on a conversation since February. She said she missed us. I said, "Mom, I just drove up and took you to the doctor on Tuesday." She said, "Even if I saw you every day, it wouldn't be enough. I love you." :wub: We're going to take her out to dinner at Thai Spice in Peachtree City (love that restaurant -- great entrees under $10 with a white-tablecloth atmosphere and service) and (Mermy will like this) pick up a few items at Williams-Sonoma.😀

So, back on thread (I HIJACKED MY OWN THREAD! YESSSSS!) what are *your* favorite comfort foods, SoWallers?

CHILI-CHEESE FRIES AT JOHNNY ROCKETS! I can't reply to every post to which I want to reply because our high-speed is out, and I'm relying on a backup dialup connection.:bang:

Tell me what is in stuffed grape leaves:idontno:


Feta cheese and good stuff. Since my youngest has been in Greece, she has developed a love of stuffed grape leaves. Not sure what she will do once she returns to our rural area.:idontno:

Man, we had some killer shrimp and grits in Savannah. I think it really only works on the Atlantic coast. We do grits and grillades:drool:

You know, the web and overnight shipping combined can get a staggering amount of food and drink just about anywhere. Look at some online gourmet food suppliers, you might be able to satisfy the urge:clap_1: By the way, I love me some feta cheese...really briny and delicious😀

Marinading in something wonderful. filled with feta, fresh stewed tomatoes, rice, and some meat....didn't even stop to ask....just saw it and it was out the door with me.

But one of my favorite comfort meals is fried okra with fried sweet corn cut off the cobb simmered in it's own juices. a little water, and bacon drippings in a black iron skillet. Add to that....blackeyed peas smothered porkchops, crispy brown cornbread sticks, sliced tomatoes, and sliced videlia onions....now I am starving! Oh yeah...sweetened tea.

Crazy around here....gotta run. This thread is killing me!:bang:

Gypsea and I "did" grits and grillades at a cooking class at Kitchenique. It was a blast and the final product was too yummy. I kept the recipe somewhere......
