The other day I made this rather yummy macaroni and cheese recipe, sent to me by Weight Watchers. I was telling heewig about it, and she said she won't touch it, because macaroni and cheese is one of those comfort foods she can't get enough of.
This got me thinking about what my comfort food is, and the answer is cheese sandwiches. Not grilled cheese. Just some pre-sliced cheese (whatever is in the fridge - generally lappi or havarti), on a bagel with mayo.
I can count on one hand the number of bagels I've had over the last 18 months, so truth be told, I've not had a decent cheese sandwich in a LONG time. Mind you, I've also lost close to 20 lbs, so we can all do the math :). Today I "indulged" a little, by throwing a slice of cheese on (rather too thinly sliced) home baked challah with some light mayo. It still is the bestest thing on the planet, I say, even if it's the somewhat lightened up version.
Tell me: what's your comfort food?

Either those, or Annie's mac and cheese (from the box).
But usually, it's baked potatoes with a little bit of sour cream, some of that nasty/awesome spray faux butter, and a glass of red wine.
Never fails to make me feel better.

But when I'm feeling particulary down/sick, I ask my mommy to make me my favorite meal: spinach (which has been food-processed with some whole milk and heated on the stove), which is then ladled over boiled, salted potatoes. And then on the side are scrambled eggs seasoned with lots of spices. Oh, drool.

Meal - Stuffed Cabbage and Mashed Potatoes - a dangerous-enough concoction that I've purposely never learned to make it myself.
