Comfort food

I'm not sure if this is an American thing or what. And what defines "comfort food" anyway? Is it creaminess? Fond associative recollections? Proteins? Fat?

I don't know. My list of comfort foods is too eclectic to be satisfactorily defined by any of the above.

Macaroni & cheese
New England-style clam chowder
Homemade chicken soup
Chili
Hot chocolate
Cookies (sugar, butter, chocolate chip, peanut butter, pecan, Oreo, you name it) dunked in milk
Pie
Pudding
Chocolate chip cookie dough
Good farmer's homestyle scrambled eggs
Lasagna
Eggplant parmesean
Mashed potatoes & gravy
Biscuits and scones
Strawberry shortcake
Tuna salad sandwich
Pancakes with syrup or cinnamon & sugar

Mmm... Now I'm hungry. Lunchtime. Chili mac & cheese!

Yes, linking is fine... I'm just trying to avoid any links to my real name, so don't mention it.

And yes, I'm a little fanatical about updating. Thanks for noticing! Also, your blog is really cool - the things you notice and how you describe them - I love it!
