Today's order: Grande Non-Fat Tazo Chai Latte, Extra-Hot
After weeks on end of snow, now what do we have? Rain. Lots of it. Meaning lots of slush and lots of flooding of streets (but hopefully not my basement). Eww.
What does all this nasty winter weather call for? You guessed it: comfort food.
Tonight comfort food is coming in the way of old-fashioned beef stew and homemade butter biscuits. Mmmmm. In fact, the stew is simmering on the stove right now, filling my kitchen with its amazing scent. If I hadn't had a crazy, running around like a chicken with its head cut off, out in the rain getting my hair all frizzy kind of day, this comforting supper would be accompanied by an equally comforting dessert. Oh well, you can't have everything, I guess.
(But if I could choose, it would probably be lemon meringue pie. Just for the record.)
What do you turn to when the weather gets you down?

What do you Canadians know about biscuits? Come down here and I'll show you some biscuits!
Mmm, that sounds delicious. The weather usually doesn't get me down...I love stormy, rainy weather. Curling up with hot chocolate and a good book or a movie is always a good thing.
I love homemade macaroni and cheese -- lots of thick creamy sauce made by starting with a roux. In our family, as children, that was always served with homemade meatballs in a rich brown mushroom gravy. Divine. When I needed comfort food early in my pregnancy with Son, I made myself a little pan of mac and cheese nearly every day for about two weeks. It was perfection.
I hope you are all cozy and happy and your dinner is scrumptious.
I truly love eating days as we call them in our house. We load up with yummy goodness like chips and dips.. and then order out for some really cheesy Italian food.. :)
Chili. More chili than my poor digestive tract can withstand. Though stew sounds awfully good right now...
Crappy weather = snuggly blankets & a good book, for sure.
Oh, and HOT CHOCOLATE.
How could I forget.
hey there... fellow albertan here... found you on the mommy blogs....
I love homemade stew...which funny enough we also had for supper last night. And I know that we definately know all about good homemade biscuits...yum yum....
I am hating this cold and can't wait for it to go away.... where is the sun and the warmth?????I miss it sooo.....lol
ice cream.
ice cream is the perfect comfort food for me. not exactly WARM, but perfect nevertheless
Sounds like a wonderful comfort meal. Hope you are cozy and dry tonight.
Anything pasta-ish, creamy and cheesy. Am pasta freak. Fetal invader seems to like it too.
Mmmm - sounds good! I love anything in the crock pot that fills my house with good smells.
You and I rock. Because as you mentioned dessert, I thought "I want some lemon merigue pie about now" and then I read the last part.
Oh! That sounds awesome! Biscuits from the south are the best. Chicken and biscuits even better. Ummmmmmm...What? Oh. Blacked out a bit there. Sorry. Gotta go pick up my kid and then find something to eat!
