Comfort foods

Damn! But you have good taste in sandwiches!

You should try my roast beef and bree on croissant. Slice up and sautee thin-slice roast beef, take thin slices of bree, slice a croissant in half and lightly fry the halves face down in the pan with some butter until light brown, spread a tiny bit of brown mustard on on slice, then put it all together.

Damn, I wish I wasn't in a hard-core diet phase.

Chicken and dumpling's and fried potato's. Of course hot pepper's mixed in with some hot sauce in Chili help's out. A nice bottle of Vodka work's pretty good too when your depressed.

Pumpkin pie is one of my favorites as well.

Also, beef stew on a taco shell (which I invented at my friend's house)

My favorite comfort foods: Clam chowder, pumpkin pie, toasted cheese sandwiches.

What are your favorite comfort foods?


My family loves when I fry chicken the way my Gran from Arkansas does. First I blanch all the chicken pieces I plan to fry in boiling water 'til their white. She always did this to make sure the meat was cooked to the bone. Her chicken is Golden brown and perfectly crispy. I learned to make my breading from her as well. She doesn't measure the way most folks do. She talks coin sized piles in the palm of her hand. A half dollar pile of this, a nickle sized pile of that, even a heap or a pinch...

Then I make all her "fixins" as well. Real lumpy smashed potatoes, white gravy with the cracklins from the chicken, slow cooked greens or green beans.... This is a meal that always reminded of Sunday afternoons when I'd visit her...

Anyway I always make more breading than I need because whenever I fry chicken I make drop dumplins as well with the left over breading.

Boilin down all the chicken makes water became fresh stock. So I leave a few pieces in til they boil all the way down and I can remove the bones "real easy like" she would say. ;)

( I just got back from a huge family reunion in Conway and It's hard not to start talkin like them, they're always "fixin" to do something LOL :D)

After I pull the chicken meat and put it back in the broth I start droppin the dumplins like mad. I use self rising flour, but you can use Bisquick. (the self rising flour is cheaper and the same thing) When I mix up the dumplins I put the milk wash in~ nothing is wasted with a poor family ;)~then I add water til I make the biscuit dough just a little to soft or moist to roll out. Then I take a fork and start dropping the dumplins...

My 18 year old son is almost a foot taller than me and he inhales my chicken and dumplins!

Sometimes I take all the stock and the pulled chicken meat and make a hearty chicken noodle soup instead, then I use the left over breading to make drop biscuits to go with meal.

Gran did this to make both lunch (dumplins or chicken noodle or chicken rice soup) and fried chicken for dinner when all the family would come.....This is comfort to me cause it taste great and brings me "back home" in my heart...

I just introduced my kids to one of my mother's comfort foods. Egg salad. Only one liked it.
