As the week ends, information pills we start focusing on Thanksgiving, seek the ultimate in comfort food. While Mexican is my main food of choice, I would have to say I have a favorite from almost every region , from Ethiopian stews, Italian pastas, Japanese, Thai, Greek, German, Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches, Polish, New Zealand meat pies, Indian, anything curried and of course French, mmmm butter, mmmm cheese. But for most of us, what we grew up with is what truly makes a meal or dish comforting. This time of year though, it’s Thanksgiving. Turkey, gravy, mashed potato’s, stuffing, cranberries, green bean casserole and pie. I’m getting full and sleepy already!!! We always add new dishes and keep old favorites but it always ends up with friends and family enjoying a day and a meal together. To me, that is the ultimate in comfort food. Food for the soul. I usually make two or three dishes to take with me and as usual I wait till the weekend before to decide what I am bringing. Hopefully you have your game plan and can stick to it. If not, don’t worry, in the immortal words of Hudson & Halls have another glass of wine and it will all work out. Well, that may not be exactly what they said but I like to remember it that way. In any case, I will be doing a bit of both. So as you go into the wonderful day of tradition and new experiences remember to take comfort in all that is around you and eat all you can!
