Comfort Food

[bertana]

I have got a mad craving for mac 'n cheese. My Mom-mom's mac 'n cheese. YOM.

I am actually almost sad that we have a big ol' catered luncheon today. Yes, y'all, I'm disappointed that I'm getting free Macayo's, because I would prefer to be off searching for mac 'n cheese. Craziness.

I am going to beg Mom to make some while I'm home. This will amuse her; every time I've seen her since I came to AZ, she has asked if she could make me some special dish. For the past year or two it's been requests for comfort food: mac 'n cheese, pizza soup, lasagna.

Comfort food...

Yeah, good stuff homemade mac...mel doesn't like it...I have yet to try the alton version but with the whole "milk" part of mac...its kinda a no go.

Though my comfort food is chinese from the place around the corner. Mel and I went there last night and it was great to see the smiling faces of the owner, have the hot tea and nosh on the best mongolian beef ever...

Yeah, I can understand the problem with whole "dairy product" bit that is integral to mac 'n cheese.

I think my comfort food out here is actually Chipotle burritos. Not so much because they're some kind of fantastic or anything, more because for years, that was where D and I would chill and talk for hours. Either that or it's Tuesday night dinners at Jadi's, but that has as much to do with the atmosphere as with the food (though she always throws together good dinners.)

I need to get with Jadi and I keep forgetting. I want to make some cool stuff. When is she doing project nights lately?

She tries to do them every other Tuesday, but she cancelled this week's-- she was in a car accident and is recuperating (messed-up back, torn rotator cuff). So I'm not sure when she'll pick them up again.

Pizza.

The comfort food for me is pizza. Red Baron Pizza.

That and popusas, but mom doesn't make them as often anymore...not good for her diet.
