i am so anxious, upset and wishing JOE WON ALREADY!! i needed comfort. Made some Mashed potatoes

[trueblue2007]

with lots of butter.

I know should have meditated, counted my blessings and prayed.

[jcgoldie]

1. don't be too hard on yourself..

...A lot of us have much worse vices to relieve stress than eating some buttery mashed potatoes!

[trueblue2007]

13. finished my "lunch" of buttery mashed potatoes with a tiny Trick or treat size DARK hershey bar

[Spazito]

2. My comfort food is homemade mac and cheese...

might make some this weekend, lol.

[True Blue American]

6. Pork Barbecue,

The juicy kind and Cole slaw! Or biscuits, I have been making a lot of biscuits lately.

[Spazito]

14. I'm with you on the biscuits!

I just made a batch of buttermilk biscuits yesterday and my grandson made banana bread. We are baking a lot, just as we did when Covid appeared. Baking is comfort all by itself if I think about it.

[wryter2000]

20. I've been making a lot of quiches

Homemade pie crust. Getting the crust right is always a victory.

Today, my Instacart shopper couldn't find Crisco at the store. The hoarding has started. Sigh. I prefer lard, but that wasn't an option on Instacart. I may make my next crust with all butter.

[Spazito]

22. Love quiches, I envy those who are successful making them...

I am not one, I can make successful pies but my quiches just don't turn out as well for some reason so I have to buy them, sadly.

[True Blue American]

31. I did find lard.

Surprised me. At Walmart!

[True Blue American]

30. I had not made biscuits for years

But for some reason I began to bake them, and yes, Banana bread!

I go to the Y POOL 3 days a week to exercise. On many others it is biscuits.

[wryter2000]

21. Love cole slaw

Thanks. I may get a cabbage and some carrots!

[ooky]

18. One of my favs too. Yum yum. 👍

[Klaralven]

3. They need lots of garlic and stir in some shredded cheddar

[CaptainTruth]

25. +100

[zackymilly]

4. My comfort food is whiskey. n/t

[madaboutharry]

5. Here is a great recipe for mash potatoes from Nigella Lawson:

The nutmeg really makes it a comfort food.

7. I am ready to go, I got hot wings in the making, crumble crust cherry pie for comfort and Champagne

chilling all ready for Tuesday, lol. Oh... and my TP but there is no shortage yet from what I saw. I was warned, but I am good to go.

[Meowmee]

8. Sounds delicious

[spicysista]

9. Sounds delicious, actually.

We're going to get through this. My comfort food is mac-n-cheese or jalapeno flavored chips.

[Baltimike]

10. Oh, I *know*. I am anxious eating everything in sight. nt

[Nevilledog]

11. Carne Asada fries comfort me.

[wryter2000]

12. Mashed potatoes

with lots of butter are the best comfort food. I swear, there's a tranquilizer in there.

On edit: Try adding a bit of cauliflower to the cut up potatoes before boiling. The extra flavor is amazing.

Plus: my favorite comfort meal is mashed potatoes and a huge mound of my homegrown green beans, also with lots of butter. I don't need anything else to make a meal, but both piles must be large.

[Klaralven]

27. Or add sauteed cabbage and onions, as in colcannon....

32. I just added that

To my Favorites! How could you go wrong with potatoes, cabbage and bacon.

My Mother was born on St.Patricks Day. Donahues from County Cork! She told me that often enough.

[wryter2000]

35. Yum

[judeling]

15. Hope you have some left for pancakes.

They are good for a quick pick me up when needed.

[stillcool]

16. ooh...that sounds good

I'm going to bake some bread tomorrow. The kneading is therapeutic, the smell is heaven, and the eating part isn't bad either. I can really slam down that dough, pretending it's whoever is pissing me off.

[True Blue American]

33. Slam a couple of times for me.:)

[trueblue2007]

17. hubby and i are having HOME MADE TACOS for dinner tonight. No beer. It messes w/my heart medicine

[NurseJackie]

19. That sounds delicious!

I love mashed potatoes... but I only make them from scratch at Thanksgiving. The rest of the year it's from the pouches (so many flavors and varieties to choose from!!)

[Laelth]

23. No. Comfort food is called "comfort food" for a reason.

Enjoy your mashed potatoes!

-Laelth

[CaptainTruth]

24. Buttery mashed potatoes are great! I would add a bit of garlic, perfection!

Enjoy them.

Now I want garlic mashed!

[smirkymonkey]

26. My favorite comfort food!

[Amishman]

28. Home made mashed potatoes, topped with lots of crispy bacon crumbles

Plus some cajun seasoning and melted cheese

[GemDigger]

29. Buttery mashed potatoes were invented to sooth the soul!

If I really need soothing then it is mashed potato sandwiches.

We can be cautiously optimistic and it feels pretty good.

[Maru Kitteh]

34. Great. Now I have to make mashed potatoes today.

Oh well!

[Iggo]

36. Food Of The Gods, that.

[marlakay]

37. I had a spoon and Nutella yesterday

This morning my stomach is growling....

We will get through this.
