Been pondering comfort foods. I think
it has to do with my stepson spoiling
me with my fave mac 'n cheese! I do
find it interesting that there are times
when nothing else will do. If I look at
it rationally, I realize that those times
have to do with upsets . . . feeling a
tad down, a bit antsy, irritated, low.
Nothing like mac 'n cheese to put
things right. Not quite sure what the
deal is; it just is.
I remember times as a young mother,
one of my kids would need something
special. Tomato soup 'n grilled cheese
sandwiches seemed to do the trick. I
even recall my dad liked to fix warm
milk on toast with a poached egg on
top. Now, there's a dish from yester-
year.
Obviously, it's not just that special
meal or treat that fits the bill. It must
have something to do with a memory
associated with the dish that makes
it so comforting. I'm trying to think
what that must be. Milk and toast
came out when I was sick. The mac
'n cheese I associate with the odd
stressful day. Tomato soup 'n grilled
cheese sandwiches happen to be free
of any adult spices or fringes. Kid-
friendly all the way. That must be it.
And here's me hoping for Miah's mac
'n cheese . . . his speciality and ever
so comforting. The kid's got it down;
make no mistake!
feeling sad today
pray make me something special
so comforts my heart
