Today's prompt is fromlilfluff: Comfort foods
Mmm Comfort food.
I'm one of those people that has to not work to eat all their feelings... and I also tend to want to feed everyone else. "You're sad? Here, have food. Angry? Food. Happy? Celebratory food!"
But when I really need comforting... when I'm sick, it's broff (broth) if I'm really sick, or chicken soup if I'm just a bit sick.
I like this risotto that T. cooks, too - it's got just a bit too much cheese in it, and sweet onions, and it's creamy and starchy. If I'm feeling ambitious, it's mac n' cheese, although cauliflower and cheese works okay with the thick cheese sauce we use.
I mean... really, anything familiar is going to be good. Sometimes the comfort food I want is enchiladas Thorne, made with rice & lentils and taco sauce. Sometimes it's pizza, bought from the take-out place down the street. And sometimes it's chocolate chip cookies, with the recipe I've got memorized. It's mostly starches, really. I like starches when I want comfort food. <.< Starches and fat.
And then there was that once, when I was feeling lousy, when I found the recipe my mom used when I was sick - vanilla custard - and made it myself. 'Cause as much as I like being taken care of, I'm a grown-up now, and sometimes you just gotta make your own comfort.
What about you? What's your favorite comfort food?
