Brew made me post these.  It's our Sunday comfort food meal.   Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, fresh green beans from the garden, and a fruit salad.

He wants me to mention that the knife was never used because the meatloaf was so tender . . . .

Now I've done my wifely duty by posting these.

Once in a while, I will pile mashed potatoes on top of the meat loaf about 1/2 hour before it's done, shmear gobs of butter on top and around the sides of the potatoes and let them brown to a golden color....yummy.  Just slice and serve.

One of my favorite comfort foods is a tomato sandwich with mayo and a little onion........or pasta, with onions and plenty of garlic sauteed (sp) in olive oil.  I splash a little vinegar over the top.

But it's not even real potato!!!

My mother would always find something to pick at, even if I looked like Elle MacPherson, had a brain like Einstein's and the selflessness of Mother Teresa.

Thank god I only have to see her once a month!!!

Emily,
it looks like that our moms have lots of things in common! But luckily mom has calmed down since she retired, which means no more daily email/call/chat, just two, three per week... On the worst moments I say a little prayer to thank that for the time being there are 280 kms between us...

And yeah, funny, but I like smashed potatoes and french fries, but when someone puts regular potatoes in front of me, I feel that something is missing...  Finnish school food (well in my childhood that was) 9 times out of 10: potatoes with gravy; I think I ate my lifetime supply of normal, boiled potatoes then...
