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:

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:
