Soul food
I'm curious as to what everyone's favorite "pick me up food" is. Myself, I
love dark chocolate. I have a secret stash (which is not so secret anymore) of Dove Dark chocolate (goes well with a latte). I'd also like to know when the "Queen of Chocolate" on this ng will relinquish her title so that I can become the official chocolate taster. Perhaps I could self appoint myself "Princess of dark chocolate". -- Carole Champlain, NY http://photos.yahoo.com/ceridwen_rhea Fine style does not make something true, nor has a man a wise soul because he has a handsome face and well-chosen eloquence.

I don't particularly argue whether it be coffee, chocolate, tea, or even poor man's tea (which is just the sugar and milk in hot water). The food itself, like cookies, brownies, or muffins, are all optional- I gotta have a mug. And a blankey and cat on the lap or near. -georg |

There's something about a mug of something hot that sooths the soul. Off to
make myself a latte! Carole Champlain, NY "Georg" wrote in message ... When I'm really glum, nothing feels cheerier than a warm mug of something sweet and milky.

Chicken and dumplings and bread pudding. But it can't just be any
chicken and dumplings or just any bread pudding. My ex-MIL made the BEST chicken and dumplings in the world. Needless to say, she doesn't make them for me any more. My ex-GMIL, who passed away before we were ever divorced, would make me real bread pudding whenever I was sick, sad or blue. It was definitely the best "soul food". Nowadays...... well, I try making my own chicken and dumplings, and it will do in a pinch, but it's still not the same. I don't even try to make bread pudding and I even have grandmas recipe. Now when I am sick or down, DH makes me Campbell's Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, it works, most the time. When we got in Tuesday night, he had gone to the store and bought everyone of us our "favorite" thing. DS, got a jug of chocolate milk and a candy bar. DD got chocolate covered cherries on her pillow. I had a Premium Dark Chocolate candy bar on my pillow and a can of black olives on the counter. He had bought us each our personal favorite flavor jug of Gatorade. Last night he took us out for dinner at Joe's Crab Shack (my daughter's favorite). She ate like she hadn't eaten in a month. I was sick at my stomach. But it was good and it was relaxing and it brought us all back together in a happier environment. I think today I will make a big pot of home made macaroni and cheese (not the Kraft kind, bleck) - for me and the kiddos, this is kind of "soul food" when we have been through a rough time together. And tea. Thank God for Bigelow Constant Comment. It connected me to reality and the feeling that "life will go on" after we made it to San Antonio and again, before bed when we got back to Houston. A cup of hot tea is definitely a "soul food" to me! Hugs, Tina |

Wish I could make you a pot of my potatoe soup and yellow sweet corn bread
in a cast iron skillet. That would fix what ails you. -- http://community.webshots.com/user/snigdibbly SNIGDIBBLY ~e~ " / \ http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/snigdibbly. http://www.ebaystores.com/snigdibbly...ox&refid=store "Tina" wrote in message oups.com...

I love potato soup Snigs - as well as sweet corn bread in the cast iron
skillet (another specialty of ex-GMIL)! You make it and I'll be there to eat! Hugs to you Tina, very, very grateful for the thought! |

Well it did to me too - so I checked the pantry and I have some nice lean
smoked bacon, celery, onions, potatoes and evaporated milk - reckon that's what I will fix for supper tonight. DS had to leave in the middle of DGDs soccer game last night with a stomach bug so he could use some comfort food. DGD plays defender position and won her game 2 to 1. So far they are 3 and 1 for the season. MY mothers comfort food was cold buttermilk, sweet yellow cornbread, salt& pepper and chopped green onions served on the porch in a huge ice tea glass. She would sit in her rocker and eat it right out of the glass with a long handled teaspoon. Not my thing but boy did she enjoy it. She also like to pour a small bag of spanish peanuts in a bottle of RC Cola and then drink it. -- http://community.webshots.com/user/snigdibbly SNIGDIBBLY ~e~ " / \ http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/snigdibbly. http://www.ebaystores.com/snigdibbly...ox&refid=store "Phyllis Nilsson" wrote in message ...

Snig, how do you make your potato soup? That was a given when anyone was
sick at our house when I was growing up. Mika http://community.webshots.com/user/mikasdrms "SNIGDIBBLY" wrote in message news7U_e.35847$tB5.16238@okepread06...
