Weekend Assignment #193: Comfort Food


Yes, I know. I'm running very very late. But sometimes that happens. Here, have a sticky bun to make up for it:



Yes. I ate some, too. My mother-in-law made them. They're excellent. And they dovetail in with this sweet (or at least comforting) weekend assignment for you:

Weekend Assignment #193: Share one of your favorite comfort foods.
Because it's just about the time of year for them, isn't it? Getting chillier and with the cold comes the desire for warm food that makes you happy. Hello! Comfort food.

Extra credit: Well, a picture of your favorite comfort food would be nice, and might also make me hungry.

Ironically, I don't have a picture of my favorite comfort food: A big bowl of oatmeal, swimming in butter and brown sugar. Man, I love that stuff. Some people like to add milk to their butter and brown sugar, but my thinking is what sort of insanity leads people to dilute their butter and brown sugar? The oatmeal is a device for delivering butter and brown sugar. You don't mess with that. Give me a bowl with those three things in it and you generally have a happy boy.

You're up! Share your favorite comfort foods. Post it in your blog or journal, and then come back here to leave a link! Make me hungry.

Also: Since I've started this a day late, we'll give it an extra day. So I'll post the results next Tuesday! Enjoy thinking about your comfort food until then.
