Well, Ms McNeil inspired mama and me to talk about a few of the foods that bring calm and serenity to us when chaos appears to be the latest trend!
Like chocolate and scotch, mama says, haha…
How about that crispy fried chicken that Mary mentioned, and of course the creamy gravy that appears after the fat is poured off and milk is added…num num.
Mama and papa go for pasta, any pasta, with tomato sauce, with pesto, with bacon and egg and parmigiana, with only olive oil, a little hot pepper and maybe a squeeze of one of these gazillion lemons we now have! Pasta is basta.
Speaking of which, mama was chatting in our street with a neighbor who said that she slices fresh lemons, freezes them, and pulls out a slice when needed for cocktails or morning lemon water or whatever uses slices.
Brilliant, since we are searching for what to do with a plethora, whatever that is, of citrons.
I have to add kibble to my wish list, okay, and Party Time treats (no parties around here right now!) and oh, little bits of cheese such as cheddar or Jack. Wonder who Jack was?
What are your comfort foods?
Oh, and the little wooden stick that USED TO HAVE A MAGNUM ON IT, thank you, papa! At least I get one teeneinsy lick. That’s not a word, but what the heck.
Hey, for one far-out doggy, it’s cherry tomatoes!
Have to stop…I’m drooling into my keyboard.
I LOVE pasta as a comfort food (or anytime!) Love fried chicken…meat pie with mashed potatoes on top………yum…purrfect comfort food! I am sooo jealous that you have a zillion lemons!
Oh, Caren, if we could we would SEND them. Mama has put them out for the neighbors….
All this talk of food and treats…now we’re hungry!
Wait a minute. Aren’t you ALWAYS?
Oh, LouLou, all your food is calming for Granny, but I go for my own food and watching birdies and mousies in the garden and looking at you, makes me calm too…not that I will eat you, though…MOL😸Pawkisses for a Happy Monday🐾😽💞
Ps Have you tried another browser when you reply on my bloggie, so that you don’t have to fill inn your name again… if so, does it work?
I’ll try to see what that means. I usually just click on your site and that’s it. But in the comments, I have to write in everything every time I comment
WOW – so many treats I’m hungry already. What am I saying – I’m always hungry!! Well, Loulou, my faves are chew sticks and kibbles and anything from the table!! BUT Mama goes to a website first and checks – she fund it by typing in “can dogs eat…..” Probably one for kitties too, since there are lots of things we can’t!
Well, I ate something yesterday that ended up on the tile floor! And that NEVER happens. Probably something stuck in a hairball…Malt paste here we come.
Most of us here agree, all food is comfort food!
Good point!!!! How about Brussels sprouts sautéed in olive oil until crisp. Even those? Poor Brussels sprouts have such a bad rap…
Comfort food is anything I enjoy! Tuna, prawns, salmon ANYTHING fishy MOL!!
I like that prawn part. Do you really get those? Wow.
Mmmm, everything sounds so good! You look beautiful drooling on your keyboard LouLou!
I seem to be drooling a lot lately, haha. Diet doldrums.
I bet Mama (and a few others of a certain age) remember REAL pork rind cracklings – speaking of useless, unhealthy delicious fat !( What’s left after the liquid fat has been squeezed out of hot meat !)
And “fresh side” – which is bacon that has not been smoked and cured, just that cut of the hog.
Fried potatoes which were fried in bacon grease…Oh well, how did we live this long after eating this stuff ?
Mashed potatoes and gravy go with ANYTHING.
Devil’s food cake with chocolate icing.
“Thanks for the memories!”
Wow, mama knows cracklings and yes, mashed potatoes cure any and all blues, that’s for sure.
My favourite would be definitely any stick that has a mousey on it, pesto maybe, but definitely NOT lemons MOL
Purrs

PS, how do you get drool off keyboards???
Ha, ha…mice-cicles! Love that. I think just try to stick your paw under the drool before it hits.
LouLou Dad likes Bacon and a nice grilled ham and cheese and we love having a little ham when he does.
Ooh…blts and croque monsieurs! Tres bons!
I am not feeling well so my comfort food right now is jello. And now I can’t even taste that. 🙁
Oh, Ellen, is it a tummy thing? We do not like to hear that ANYONE is feeling under the weather! No temp, I hope.
