I was trying to decide what to have for lunch today. Looking the the fridge the leftovers just didn't seem all that appetizing. I thought sandwich.. no, eggs... no, frozen dinner in the freezer... no. Nothing seemed to jump out at me and say "Eat Me!" I opened the cabinet door and saw a half box of whole wheat pasta. Ahhhh now I know! Pasta and parmesan ... the Italian (or at least my mom's family's) version of macaroni and cheese. Basically all it is is a bowl of any pasta a little butter and and some parmesan cheese (or Romano or Asiago). When I was little and we didn't have a lot of money, my mom would make this for lunch a lot. My Dad hated it because he never could get used to the smell of hard Italian cheeses. Over the years it has become my comfort food. It's what I make for myself when I have the blahs or nothing else seems to satisfy my gastric needs or wants.
It's funny, but David's (my husband) comfort food is the same thing. My father's is something totally different. Daddy likes to mix peanut butter and syrup in a small bowel and then spread it on toast.
So.... What's your comfort food?

If in hurry steak and potatoes will do. There's just something wonderful to me about smell of raw meat and once I cook it and savor that first slow chew. it's my little nibble of heaven. Makes my mouth go yummie-yum-YUM. Ogf course I Hoover the rest of it.
I don't know what it is about starchy foods, but I <3 them!
