Hello!
Webster has several definitions of the
word "Comfort."
"To give strength and hope." CHEER
"To ease the grief or trouble of."
CONSOLE
"Consolation in time of trial or worry."
SOLACE
"A satisfying or enjoyable experience."
For my post this evening we are going
with this last one and talk about
COMFORT FOOD.
I am sure that everyone is cooking as
much or more than they did before life
changed for all of us. I know I have been.
In times of upheaval, people tend to
gravitate toward things that comfort
them. ie: comfy sweater, soft blanket
in a cozy chair,some bake and some
cook.
Tonight we had roast, potatoes, carrots
and green beans. Tomorrow we will
finish the Easter ham with Ham and
Beans for Mr. Ken and I will have
Ham and Cheesy potatoes because I
am not a fan of Ham and Beans.
I would consider these to be
comforting.
Other foods I find "comfort" in:
Mac and Cheese
Spaghetti
Meatloaf
Mashed Potatoes
Soup
Chocolate
Probably a lot of other things that
aren't good for us. :) Ha!
What are your comfort foods??
Take care friends and be safe.
~Keep on Dreaming~
Ha ha.. I remarked to my husband just last night, that the 'quarantine 15' is a real thing!
