Here are some of my all-time favorite comfort foods. It’s just a list; perhaps I’ll rhapsodize about them at some other point.

• Fried eggs on buttered sourdough toast.
• Tuna salad sandwiches.
• Split pea soup.
• Pulled pork.
• Roast and three veg.
• Poutine!
• Macaroni and cheese.
• Aussie meat pie with sauce.

My wife likes the roast dinners too, prefers her eggs poached, and adds:

• Cauliflower cheese
• Pumpkin soup
• Good bread (pastadura!) with butter
• Angel hair pasta with cream and smoked salmon
• Gnocchi

I was in need of comfort the other night. It had been a tough day, and I wanted to be nourished right through. Not to pig out–but to have something wonderful. And then I thought, food being a great thing to share, that this might be a great idea to share.

And so was born the Comfort Food! blog.
