Comfort Food

[John53]

My stomach still turns when I think about the scones and gloopy white sauce they tried to make me eat for breakfast in Virginia

We used to have regular ol' spaghetti and marinara once a week. These days I add a little minced garlic and a dash of Frank's hotsauce. Perfect easy meal that just feels like my childhood.

Yes! Just did Spaghetti this week. A classic. I tend to do seasoned ground beef in my sauce, and I make the sauce myself. Lots of herbs, like thyme, sage, oregano, parsley, garlic, onion powder, S&P.

Crap I'm hungry now.

You don't like Biscuits and Sausage Gravy!

Biscuit and scone

From my experience scones are sweet and not savory. Biscuits are savory. Fig Newtons are sweet but they are not scones, nor are they savory. Cookies!

Nope. Scones are OK with jam and cream and a cuppa tea, they're not breakfast food.

But speaking of comfort food, Biscuits and gravy definitely qualify

Oooo I love biscuits and gravy. Pity I aint ate it in years

When I was a kid, my mom would serve cottage cheese...with dill pickles.

I love it! Probably the only food mom served that stuck with me.

I have a killer marinara sauce I copied from the New York Times. I have read that marinara sauces were supposed to be "quick" sauces, as opposed to a Bolognese that can take four or more hours to cook properly. This one is done in a bit over a half an hour and it is amaing.

Reminds me of eating leftover white rice, with milk and sugar for breakfast. I haven't had that in years.

They are simple to make. You can even cheat and get the Pillsbury type of biscuits. To me the gravy is the important part.

Oh, and I like mine with an egg over extremely easy. Oh my, I just ate dinner, but the thought of that egg yolk running down a mess of biscuits and gravy is making me hungry again.

Cold or cooked?

I know I've seen that in recipe books cooked... wanna say its a northern Europe thing, but can't say for sure...
