comfort food and not-quite enchiladas
Mar. 7th, 2009 11:33 amIn honor of my awesome Carla mood theme—first time ever using a custom mood theme!—I'm making a food post.
I really love enchiladas but when I make them at home I find it's too much tortilla, not enough filling, and rolling them is more work than they're worth. So instead I decided to make a kind of Mexican lasagna and it came out really well! ( Flat Tofu-Spinach Enchiladas with Salsa Verde )
Comfort food is always a little weird; to make it comforting you've adapted it in some way that makes it just a tiny bit embarrassing. They talked about this on Sex and the City—remember Carrie's ritual of eating saltines spread with grape jam, while standing in her kitchen reading the new Vogue?
Last night I really needed some comfort, so I reverted to an old standby. I got a stick of salami, cut a few rounds off, cut them into quarters, and nuked them for two minutes so they were totally fried and hard. Then I made some spaghetti and tossed in the salami chunks and some Prego, the jarred sauce of my adolescence. I also had some red leaf lettuce with red french dressing and croutons I made out of toast because I didn't feel like buying any croutons. Yum! And I had crunch berries for dessert—the cheapo kind that come in the bag.
What are your comfort foods?
