comfort food
 

what does everyone like to eat when it gets cold outside?

I like homemade soups and chili. I also make a lot of spaghetti sauce. I used to *love* my husband's fried chicken, rice and gravy, but we don't eat meat anymore.

chili and cornbread = pretty much the best cold-weather meal ever.

and pumpkin pie for dessert?

i might need a moment.

With whipped cream? My father-in-law's mother makes pumpkin pie every year for Thanksgiving and I ALWAYS eat it until I feel nauseous- it's *that* good.

don't fall asleep.

YES. omg of course whipped cream. and none of that cool whip noise either - it's gotta be real whipped cream. i actually didn't have pumpkin pie until 2 thanksgivings ago :o i thought it looked gross, but i was sooooooooooo wrong :blob2:

:laugh:

ewww..I don't like whipped cream on my pumpkin pie. it ruins it.


a couple for me:

cinnamon melt from mcdonalds
chicken n' dumplin's
breadsticks from the olive garden


that's all i can think of for right now.

You don't really eat it, but when it gets cold in San Diego (below 60 degrees :laugh:) my favorite is Coffee and Baileys.

are you high? vanilla ice cream doesn't hurt any either :D

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, chicken and dumplings.

what about frozen turkey? :shrug:

Boerenkoolstamppot.

ew. double ew. i'm not big on having my pies a-la-mode. i think it's the combination of the hot/cold and it hurts my teeth lol.

well. plus I just don't like it :laugh:

and no. I prefer mine thawed out thank you :p nice and juicy :eek:



is that some belgian treat?

No, those stupid Dutch neighbors.

Mac & Cheese is a big comfort food.
So are pork chops that are slowly simmered in cream of onion soup.
And speaking of soups, I make tortilla soup at least once a week during the winter. My best friend Patrick will specifically ask me to make it.

I have not had any of my comfort foods, though, as it is still 83 degrees here in south Texas. :wavey:

rbs

Tea.
Galons and gallons of it. Tea in my cup all day long basically.
Assam, Darjeeling, English Royal, Traditional, Lung Ching, White Dragon, anything... oh the goood Russian brands with their rosepetals and marigolds mixed in....

Just NO Earl Grey, Lemon, Mint or Orange spice. Whatever posessed people to ruin perfectly good black teas like that, FOR SHAME!!!

And around evening time, only sometimes of course ..... Some Southern Comfort neat :D

that?



looks vile. but the bowl/plate is really cute :laugh:

omg, how could I forget about mac & cheese? :eek:


additionally, i don't really consider "comfort foods" to be foods eaten when it's cold. even though I know that's what the thread is about, I consider comfort foods to be eaten

a. when you're PMSing
b. to prevent yourself from killing someone else
c. to prevent yourself from killing yourself
d. when you're really sad
e. when you've fallen off your diet
f. when you've been away for a long time and go "home" and get to eat
mom's cooking
and so on.

btw. i read this and found it from wiki. it's how we get addicted to carbs :lol:

Dangit - that was gonna be my reply. I'll just add that the green slop looks like chewed cow cud after the second regurgitation.

i had chili last night for dinner and chicken and dumplings the night before that. so we will have leftovers for a couple of days atleast.

Chicken and dumplin's... mmm mmm good.
I fixed ham and beans, fried 'taters, and cornbread last night. Amazing.
I like chili, but only so much of it.
I need to fix a roast soon. What pisses me off is I thawed out roast meat a week ago, then I figured out I didn't have any potatos, and my carrots went bad. Now, I have 'taters, still no carrots, and my roast is bad. Dammit.

^^^
I make awesome chicken and dumplings. I also love broccoli and cheese soup in a bread bowl during the winter.

This reminds me that my Mom makes a mean beef stew, a great comfort food. I also love turkey dinner with all the fixin's, especially the stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce.

zomg chicken & dumplins. it's so weird that this is a topic today.

i haven't had chicken & dumplins in years, and yesterday i got this craving. my mom is going to make me some this week. wooooot.

incidentally, in my world chicken & dumplins are called "chumper dumpers". i screwed up lots of words when i was little. -_-

other comfort food... mashed potatoes. always mashed potatoes. mom's potato soup (best in the world), mom's chicken casserole (omggg i haven't had that in years, i need it now too), grilled cheese sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, stuffing (nomnomnom). green beans (and not the kind that have a lump of pork in them, gag).. glazed carrots. cornbread.. biscuits. toast..

i'm totally starving now. i wish today was thanksgiving. :distress:

What? It's just mashed potatoes with vegetables. We're kinda big on that here, all kinds of vegetables really. And it's considered winter food.

Chocolate.
Large bags of chips.
Usually I don't eat when I'm depressed.
See above.
Triple whopper.
My mother would probably put poison in my food, but when I eat at my dad's I always make him make brussel sprouts. Yum.

-Sauerkraut and spare ribs with potato rolls...oh mmmm!!!
-My Dad's apple pies
-New England Boiled Dinner - pot roast braised in stock with potatoes, carrots, celery, onions
-Littleneck clams steamed in white wine, chicken stock, garlic and parsley
-Apple cider doughnuts
-My Mom's corn souffle
-Peanut butter & honey sandwiches (on toasted bread)

Oh, I agree! That's very popular in Los Angeles.:laugh:

yumm, with rookworst from Hema !

I would start with :

and let's not forget the fabulous Irish Coffee

(i'm afraid i'm a piggy at heart :sorry: )

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, Irish Coffee.

I could really go for some right now.

Please don't be depressed. Be happy. Smile a bright smile.

I have to agree with Sherri Ann Cabot that SOUP is the best of all comfort foods.

You can eat a triple Whopper? Holy crap!

Tonight I think it's gonna be smoked sausage, green beans, and boiled potatos... you know, all in the same pot, slopped into a bowl, and accompanied with butter bread.... lots of butter bread. :nod:

Such a hilarious movie.

Chili con queso
Homemade turtle brownies
Mashed potatoes
