Times are tough. It seems more and more people are finding themselves faced with new stressors. In times such as these, we seek comfort in a memory, renewed friendship, old songs and food.
Comfort food for us is mom's spaghetti and meatballs, a good bowl of minestrone, a tasty lentil and garlic olive oil sauce, a slice of genoa salami, a great cup of coffee with a warm slice of bread dunked right in! Yes food is comforting because it brings about all of our senses. We taste, we smell, we hear it cooking, we touch it and we see it. These senses are tied to our memories. If the food we eat is tied to a good memory, voila, comfort!
What are some of your favorite comfort foods?
