Add some Americana to the theme. I decided that this was the night for my Xmas Spam gift, the new ******* Maple flavored product. It's been a while, I'll admit but it came out and sliced nicely, 6 pieces. So my American comfort and "authentic" meal is a wrap. The rest of the Maple Spam will be used as breakfast food..

Hope you all enjoyed some wonderful vittles tonight

 

Looks tasty. The Misses fixed stuffed cabbage covered in a tasty tomato sauce tonight, with corn on the side. No pics, but take my word for it, it was great. She made enough for tomorrow's dinner too. I have a couple cans of spam in the pantry that are a couple years old. It's time I cycled them out.

 

The pizza is in the oven right now! That's my comfort food! Supreme with extras from the refrigerator! "meat"!

 

Homemade Mac n cheese and spam dressed in brown sugar pineapple juice topped with cloves. A favorite in my home. Yummy!

 

This all sounds good, cant remember last time I made my moms baked mac n cheese, since diabetes went uncontrolled, the carbs. knock my blood sugar crazy. I miss my “comfort foods”. I always liked fried spam w/eggs. Maybe tomorrow morning! Thanks for the reminder!

Nice, but, the fresh tomato is missing.... 😁

 

Ah, Mac and Cheese, the University student's staple food, I miss it. Haven't had it in a long time, my Sweetie won't make it, says its not healthy. I think I will have to make some for myself one night when she's working late. As for the Spam, never cared for it, we have some at the hunt camp sometimes. We always say it's made from the lips , ears and udders.

I could write out a list of comfort foods. They would all be foods my mom made me while at home there.

 

This thread is dangerous to my waistline!

 

IMO - you can follow Mom's recipes precisely, but the resulting food will never be as good as hers.
So what's missing? The love she stirred into everything she made for her family.
Yeah, I still miss Mom.

 

This is so true. I make my fried cornbread and salmon patties just like my mom did, but the end result is rarely close to hers.
