First of all – note to myself: remember to punish Sideview because every time I tried to start this I ended up snacking instead of writing. To me comfort food is mom’s cooking. I am reminded of nostalgic memories: Rainy days: coming home to warm delicious thick soups, fresh crisp bread with a thick layer of butter. Being sick with flu: and caringly fed homemade chicken soup. Studying: late into the night and being treated to a large mug of hot chocolate and marshmallows. Sunday lunch: delicious lamb roast, rice, gravy and vegetables. The puddings: ginger, date and nut pudding with custard. Ice-cream with fruit salad. Soft sweet milk tart. Cold winter days: eating curry stew and chutney or warm meaty pies. Sunday mornings: toast and eggs or pancakes and syrup or waffles and cream. Salads: the most mouth-watering potato salad and Greek salad with olives and feta cheese. Now you know what comfort food is to me. |

yum yum yum, i undrstand why you kept eating. but please don’t punish me for it ;-(
🙂 chomp chomp … slurp … I’ll think about it.
Looks like very delicious food.My family and I love sweets.
So we often eat cheap sweets and cakes. 🙂
I am going through a craving for chocolates. I use to love sweets but I think I have become allergic to the food dyes which they put in sweets. I love cake with icing 🙂
Food so often equals love as children, doesn’t it? Or as adults: I cook because I love my children, not because I like doing it 🙂
Lovely memories.
