Comfort Food

Tonight, Husband and I made Kung Pao Chicken - from a packet. My mom bought me some and sent them home with me when I went to visit them a while back. Kung Pao is one of my family's favorite dishes...it was a normal rotation and all of us knew how to make it (follow the directions on the package, duh!). For me, it is definitely comfort food. So much so that I had seconds (I definitely didn't need seconds).

What is comfort food to you? To me it's pretty much anything that is comfortable to eat...anything that I crave because it is familiar...

My top 5 comfort foods (in no particular order) are:

1. Cajun bean soup with sausage
2. Kung Pao Chicken
3. My mom's chili
4. Hot and Sour Soup
5. Pho

Yes, I do realize that 4 of the 5 are soup or soup-like, but I don't care...I love soup. Soup is comfort. Comfort is soup.

Sorry! Well...not really that sorry

I'm sorry I have been absent but Husband and I took a sudden trip to Buenos Aires for 3 weeks and just returned tonight! So - sorry about the absence but we were having fun! Soon I will post about some of the yummy food we ate while we were there!

But for now this will have to do...Before I left I made some Valentine's cookies and truffles to sell...here are some pics!
