Favorite comfort food? formisbegotten
How is it that I don't have a single icon with food in it? The Breakfast Club will have to do!
So comfort food. I... Pizza? Cheese and bread. Cheese on bread, cheese in bread, cheese between tortillas. Breaded cheese, in a pinch.
I feel odd that nowhere on this list is "my mom's..." (or grandma, or dad, or whatever), although i am quite fond of her pumpkin pie and apple crisp. My immediate family just isn't all that into food. When I was growing up, my mom basically had five things she would cook -
Baked chicken and rice (chicken rosé for her and my dad, but I didn't like the sauce);
Spaghetti with homemade but relatively plain meat sauce (but never garlic bread - she doesn't like garlic);
Swedish pancakes (basically crepes) with milk and sugar, or grape jelly;
Some sort of grilled meat and some sort of baked or boiled potato, or a pan-fried hot dog;
... I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting one. I'm sure it was five. I actually just went to go stare at my pantry and then into my fridge to try and jog my memory.
I'd actually never had any sort of mac and cheese until I went to college. The only nonperishable prepared, or half-prepared meals we ever had in the house was Campbell's condensed chicken noodle, although we branched out to chicken flavor top ramen in the 90s.
On two of the nights that my dad was definitely home for dinner, we'd do takeout pizza and Chinese food.
Later, lemon chicken over spaghetti made an appearance, and when we lived places with decent fresh produce, spinach salad with hot bacon dressing, and a pasta salad with blanched vegetables and Newman's Own vinaigrette. #adventurous
When I was a teenager, every once in a while my mom and I would go out to dinner at Chili's, and order the potato skins and chocolate milkshakes, so that still happens, although I am also now really fond of Outback's cheese fries, which is basically the same thing only worse for you.
