Ah, comfort food. The culinary category that takes us to a nice, soft place with very little worry... and even less responsibility. A very broad-ranging category whose only membership requirements are that the dish takes you to another time and sets your mind at ease. Mac and cheese for some. Chicken noodle soup for the others. My comfort food list is fairly long. I guess nostalgia and gluttony go hand in hand for me. Explains a lot actually. But at or very near the top is chicken and dumplings. My ultimate comfort food.
