What are your comfort foods?

When I was little, we were poor as shit. Yet, it felt like Christmas once a week when my mom made Kraft macaroni and cheese, and sprinkled a little tuna fish on it. You probably think that sounds gross, but it's just poorman's tuna casserole.

Anyhoo, as a grown man, especially now with my mom passed away, I like to revisit this impoverished culinary delight once in awhile, but now I just jump right the fuck off the cliff with two boxes of Kraft dinner and a full can of tuna. My heart can hate me all it wants. My taste buds and tummy will sort that bitch out. I'm gonna have that for dinner tonight. I'm salivating like Pavlov's dog just thinking about it.

I have other comfort foods, like biscuits and gravy, spaghetti with a couple of buttermilk biscuits, and hamburger helper, all remnants of my youth, but Kraft Macaroni & Cheese with Tuna is still # fucking 1.

What's yours?

Friday suppers were when meals got to be a bit more informal when I was growing up. I have fond memories of Kraft Dinner, hot dogs, homemade pizza, and grilled cheeses and still have happy associations with those when I eat them. Except now if I really want to live a little, I'll occasionally go pick up a pizza from the local pizza parlor. That and some Coca-Cola = pure bliss.

For me - it's McDonald's Sausage / Egg / Cheese biscuit. When I was a kid these were $0.49 each, so it was something my mom could afford to buy for all of my brothers and sisters as a treat (maybe once every couple of months). Now they're like $5 each, but I still pick one up every few months and I'm reminded of being a kid.

McDonald's (where I grew up at least) also used to have an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. They would bring out big tubs of the folded eggs, biscuits, sausage patties, hash browns, and pancakes. Weekends I spent with my grandparents, this was a typical Saturday morning affair. This was more expensive though, like $2-3 per person.

EDIT: apparently, the McDonald's all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet is a bit of an urban legend / myth. But it was definitely real, and I definitely remember eating it many times in the early 1980s.

It's a very old dessert.

My recipe.

I used tinned half peaches coz I'm lazy, but it would probably be better if u used peaches poached in a stock syrup.

I toast my almond flakes in a non stick pan, no oil is needed.

For the sauce I blend fresh or frozen raspberries (if using frozen u will have to defrost them otherwise u end up will like a sorbet) with raspberry jam(about 2 big handful of rasberrys needs a heaped dessert spoon of rasberry jam, use good quality jam) and then I pass it through a siv to get the seeds out, and that's your sauce.

Use good quality vanilla ice cream.
