My favorite comfort meal is really a meal I first ate in Charleston, SC (served by my mother-in-law over 30 years ago) is cheese grits, boiled shrimp and sliced tomatoes, which I'm making a Texas staple!Ruby Johnsonhttp://kfwwriters.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1965259714844356118.post-80489932911765803362011-09-18T07:11:18.614-07:002011-09-18T07:11:18.614-07:00Fantastic!

My cousin's & I used to have contests about who could eat the most, but it was always a draw because we always polished it off before we had enough!! Granny made the absolute BEST CFS & white gravy known to man. She's been gone more than half of my life, now, and I still miss her hugs and kindness.

LOL I did a cookbook several years ago that never saw publication, but my husband was grateful for the taste tasting opportunities. :D <br />Recipes that take me somewhere: 1 c. egg noodles, 1 egg, bread crumbs, 2 c. cottage cheese green onions. Doesn't sound like much, but it's pure comfort food. It's only called "Grandma's Noodles" in my house.<br />My mother's kuchen is another comfort food, but it's all Christmas for us and the noodles can happen any old time. ;D<br />Thanks for sharing this! There are two things everyone on this earth shares: we all breathe air and we all EAT.

Kentucky Fried chicken will always mean family celebration to me because we so often had it at family gatherings when I was a kid. I will never eat Long John's Fish without thinking of my grandparents and my uncle because Long John's was one restaurant that my grandfather liked so when my uncle came to town he would take us there to eat. As for cooking...the foods that I like to cook don't remind me so much of a place as I've pretty much always lived in the Midwest. They do however remind me of people...my mother...my grandmother. Chicken and noodles is one of the things that my mother makes...and spaghetti is one that my grandmother made. Food connects us across time and space. <br /><br />I would love to win the Homesick Texan Cookbook!<br />Laurie Sanders at Black Velvet Seductions dot com.Laurie Sandershttp://www.blackvelvetseductions.com/readers_blog/noreply@blogger.com
