… And Comfort Food

Daily writing prompt
What’s your go-to comfort food?

Now clearly, I can proclaim a favorite but why choose just one? Food and the memories associated as a result of our olfactory system (the sense of smell) are most closely linked to emotions, feelings, and memories! Now I will tell you I am very much a creature of habit, I love chicken fried chicken and a baked potato from Texas Roadhouse. I love samosas the crunchy part especially! I cannot wait to try more of these! I loved shwarma (sp) when I was in Dubai and this is a new favorite. I love hot pastrami on rye bread ( it can be light or dark rye, love them both) with yellow mustard, and I love it the way my grandma made it in the pot, in true New Englander style, not the lunchmeat knockoff! Food is an experience and I am stepping, although lightly (wink wink) into other foods! I don’t want to choose a favorite because my favorites might not be your favorites but I was to celebrate all the parts of each of us that make us wonderful! I love a wonderful apple pie with crust, a really yummy pie crust not a cheap one. A pie crust that is flaky and rich all at the same time and someone poured their heart into that crust and made it spectacular, but even more I love the memories that fill my heart when I think of my grandmother saying, “An apple pie without any cheese is like a hug without any squeeze!” Now I never ate apple pie with cheese like she did but the phrase goes with the pie perfectly. For me, it’s a glorious cup of coffee. Tim Horton’s preferably because my friends in Canada got me hooked!
