@miktacular I think you mean beschuit? (crispy round things?) They are great, my mum always made them with sugar when we were sick, and its great with cream and strawberries in summer (y).

(And the Dutch ui is very difficult to pronounce for foreigners, even harder possibly than the sch or g-sound, which is very charming to teach people (I always direct them to the g-spot in there mouth )

Kraft macaroni and cheese, Campbell’s chicken noodle soup (original recipe, none of this reduced fat, reduced sodium bullshit), Triscuits. Hmm. I see a pattern.
Sorry… forgot to say great post – can’t wait to read your next one!

Chili. Warm and spicy and filling and so good. Plus making it means I’ll have an entire pot of it, so I’ll be able use it as a comfort food for days if need be.

@PhDork: I hadn’t thought about it, but yes, chocolate icebox cake can most definitely be made available.

@distractedbyshinyobjects:

Okay, you asked for it.

Brown 1 lb lean ground beef with one chopped onion. Drain and mix with 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 can of Campbell’s cream of mushroom and 1 can of Campbell’s cream of tomato (you can use the low-sodium kind; it will still taste good and be kinder to your arteries). Mix the soupy beef mixture in a casserole dish with 1 bag of cooked egg noodles and 1 cup of corn (canned or frozen, just remember to drain). To the top of the casserole add a layer of some kind of yellow cheese–Velveeta, Kraft singles or shredded cheddar all work equally well (my grandma is partial to American cheese). Bake at 350 until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly.

It’s all about the carbs. My two major comfort foods/favorite snacks (I’ll eat ‘em whether or not I need comfort): salt & vinegar potato chips, and a crusty loaf with olive oil and balsamic.

I have a vinegar thing, too. Anything vinegary–pickles, mustard, sauces–and I am insatiable. Not sure what that’s about.

Aaaaand we are having chocolate icebox cake at Harpy House, right, Becky?

Any chance we can get a recipe for grandma’s Elston casserole??

I would attack that.

I’m sensing a major carb focus to most people’s comfort food! I am definitely with you; a bad day means a big sloppy bowl of spaghetti, just a little tomato sauce or maybe just butter. I don’t like any unnecessary condiments coming between me and my starch. Mac and cheese from the box, of course, stand by.
