I liked that a lot, Erin! I was all, OMGWTF?! BWAHAHAHA!
::readies the fryer for Erin::
Typo, excellent drabble. I really liked her "comfort food." Hee.
connie's and Aimee's definitely struck home. My mother was the queen of cooking with hamburger. Not because it was plentiful, but because a year and half of living off the chickens they raised during the depression gave her a severe distaste for the bird.
Jesse, definitely bittersweet.
Lots o' burgermeat in my fam, too.
In addition to biweekly servings of SOS. *sigh* And Swiss steak, although I have no fucking clue HOW it was Swiss. And something called porcupine meatballs, with was rice and hanburger rolled into balls, and stewed in some red goop.
These are wonderful drabbles.
Sadly, I think of comfort food ... and then I just want to go find some. Maybe I'll try to be metaphorical about it.
After I eat.
I love porcupine meatballs. In a sauce made from V-8.
I am pondering the drabble.
Oh, Erin, insent yesterday sometime.
-t, I got it back. I've read it through once, but have to go back again, more slowly later.
Caught some good stuff for me! Thanks.
Glad you liked. I like Tess, too; poor girl's gonna get some pain, though before I'm done with her. Hee.
Let me know when/if you want a little more.
Definitely want more! As often as you want to send it - I'm a lady of leisure at the moment, so I should be able to get a quicker turn around.
Huh. I'm a freak - I don't eat for comfort and I have no specific memories that include food for comfort.
I've tried making comfort food for other people, yes. But I haven't got a single memory link to food that comforts me.
I have one brewing, but it's a downer, and I dunno if I want to spew it out just yet. We'll see.
I wanted to do something about nursing for this topic, but my brain is mushy and I can't write.
