Tuna Sandwich with a side of...ahhhhhhh.
Over this past year my comfort food has shifted. It used to be popcorn (which I still really love). Now I unwind with a toasted tuna sandwich on whole wheat and a cup of tea. (yet another grandma trait that I seem to have developed)
This shift has got me thinking about food...
Food is powerful.
You can smell it, see it, taste it, touch it, hear it cooking.
Food is an experience. It's tied to memory and relationship.
Think about it. A Baby is born and some of it's first experience of another person is Mother feeding it.
We celebrate with food, we mourn with food, we meet around food.
Food is the great leveler. We all need it.
Jesus was all about food. His first miracle was at a feast. He fed 5 thousand. He wanted to be remembered around a table with bread and wine.
Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see—
how good God is.Blessed are you who run to him. (Psalm 34:8)
Bon Appetite!
So tell me, what's your comfort food?

Remember the time you didn't like tuna?? And now it is a comfort food...weirdness!!
I think my comfort food probably is salt & vinger chips. More specifically Maine Coast...YUMMMM
Thanks now I want chips!
My comfort food would have to be dill pickles. I love those things and could sit down and eat an entire jar easily.
i like that you blog about food... it makes me happy... chocolate ice cream & iced tea... that's good stuff.
Food doesnt really comfort me...but I like puppies. Puppies comfort me...but they arent food...so I guess Ill go with spam...nah...definately tacos and banana flavoured milk.
Much love,
Zach
oh food...to comfort myself i often enjoy cooking food but then not eating it. i love making things but by the time im finsihed im to tired to eat it haha. but i love icecream so i guess that could count!
ps i love this new found friendship-posting-thing haha blessings!
Hooray for blog friends, you're cute Karen! I feel that way about cookies. I like to make um, but I don't really like eating them. But that could be because I overdose on the dough before it hits the oven... just a theory. haha.
Zach, you're right...puppies aren't food. please remember that.
Are you telling me that Balogna sandwiches don't comfort you? Not even when you're protein deprived and exhausted from a busy day of not giving kids tuck?
I crave milk sometimes, is that weird??
Do kids really need more candy? If anything, they need to learn the value of a well made bologny sandwhich. Suggestion to the board...replace all Tuck with Protein Shakes and sandwhiches next summer.

Ice-cream...I have a huge tub of strawberry ice-cream in my freezer that was left-over from Camp this summer.
I've only opened it once...but it is very tempting and good.
Maybe a little spoon of it just before bed will be nice...
i would have to say i to am like this zach fellow, i love a good balogna sandwich... but it's gotta be real balogna, no that "sandwich meat stuff" it has to be the kind you cut yourself, and it has to be really stinkin thick, then you have a good balogna sandwich... and it can be with either mayo or ketchup.
Popcorn and Hot Chocolate
Gray, i met someone you know today. All i got was her first name, its kelly i believe, she was the cook at your camp this summer said you taught her how to hug???
Chris, Wow, it's a small world after all. Kelly was the cook at Brookwood this summer. I did hug her a lot.
She's the Kelly on my blog links.
Good comfort foods, Kristen.
cookie dough ice cream, chocolate, anything chocolate....
oh and occasionally I enjoy fish, no wait,that would kill me.....
milk but that's not good either
Time for an update!!
Hey Paul, I am sure ice cream isn't good for you either if you can't have milk!!
My Comfort food has recently been a big bowl of heavenly hash ice cream. But an old faithful is Macaroni and tomatoes.. I sometimes will sneak it when Im home alone.. after I had supper.
All food is comforting! I love food, the taste, aroma and apperance! OK, maybe not liver, but everything else is exceedingly pleasant! We can learn alot of lessons from food! Salt of the earth, yeast of the pharisees, Bread of Life, I'm sure there are others. Food is a basic need for all humanity. Just like God! Isn't God amazing! A table for us has been prepared in the presence of our enemy! Wow! (Kelly, camp cook and lunch lady boss)
