What's your go-to comfort food/meal at home??? Dec 06 15 02:29 pm Link It sounds weird, but my favorite comfort food is tater tots cooked until they are very brown and hard on the outside, smothered in grits. I make slow-cook grits, with applewood smoked salt and chipotle pepper. Dec 06 15 02:35 pm Link Instant mashed potatoes with cheese. It used to be pizza but I can't have that hardly at all anymore(doctor's orders). Dec 06 15 05:10 pm Link Chili or Beef rib soup, both are the kids Great-Grandmothers recipe.

No salt at all for me but a small heaping of pepper and a little ketchup does it. My real comfort food, though, is toast that is smothered in butter and cinnamon.

Surprisingly we've only got one whole foods and there isn't a canadian equivalent eating up the market. Dec 07 15 06:04 pm Link Laura UnBound wrote: I think it's called Trader Jacques in Canada... Dec 08 15 02:38 am Link Spaghetti. Unfortunately, I rarely have time to make homemade spaghetti sauce anymore. Canned sauce just isn't the same. Dec 08 15 10:06 am Link grilled cheese is more work so we tend to do tuna sandwiches and tomato soup. i prefer basic campbells although safeway has one that isn't too bad (spicier than campbells). lately we've been having a lot of chicken pot pies. trader joes has a good one and we like KFC, too. Dec 08 15 10:42 am Link I did try Pho today for the first time; amazing. The guy in our group knew the owner so we got some really good service and a few extras. Pho was only like $6.50 plus tax. I ordered the Pho Thai. And yes Lohkee, I am sure Hues' is probably much better, but I have not had her version yet. The one in the picture isn't the one I ordered as I did not snap that pic. The yellow stuff to the side is some sort of Vietnamese crepe is what I was told. Tasty too. I'd say it was the equivalent to the Korean seafood pancake. But the real highlight for me was the desert that the owner made. He was like, do you like peanut butter and caramel? I'm like yes. A few minutes later. It's ice cream in the middle. I think the top and bottom pieces were the Taro flavor. That didn't last one minute after I snapped the picture. I was too excited to eat it that I couldn't hold the phone still long enough to get a better shot of it. Of course I was on a sugar high a short time afterwards. It was just straight up awesomesauce. Price: $3.75 Another pic someone else in my group took of what they ordered. Dec 13 15 12:52 am Link Plain white sticky rice, with red perilla furikake, or soy sauce, or spicy cod roe...or ramen :9 Buttery corn grits, sausage gravy, fried chicken, mashed potatoes. Bread and butter, grilled cheese, bagels with scallion cream cheese and lox. Basically all the things that make me gain weight at an unreasonable rate. Jan 21 16 05:36 pm Link Doesn't the bread get soggy?

Feb 05 16 01:19 pm Link $5 taco plate at the Taco truck behind the Meridian Food and Gas. Your choice beef, pork or chicken. 3 tacos, beans and rice, all home-made, fresh and the red hot sauce is hot. I could eat it every day for lunch. I'd given up on getting good Mexican food up here like I got used to in Fresno. Feb 05 16 03:19 pm Link Gryph wrote: Damn it Gryph! What the Pho!! Now I'm hungry.
