No, not the famous French classics like duck a la orange, or sole veronnique... I'm talking the stuff you grew up with in your school cafeteria... the good stuff done bad that sometimes you just absolutely crave.
I've been on a serious comfort food kick lately, but oddly enough its food that wasn't really comforting at all when I originally ate it! I've been reviving classics from the school cafeteria, but I've been doing them right.
I've made Turkey Manhattan with whipped yukon gold potatos loaded with butter on wonder bread (it IS good for something!), from scratch fried chicken with some buttered corn, my very first baked mac 'n cheese with my very first bechamel-based cheese sauce (i've always been a pasta tossed in a cream reduction kind of cook), BBQ pork chops with homemade sauce, chicken noodle soup from my own stock and handmade noodles, grilled cheese sandwich with roasted tomato bisque.
It's been time consuming but man has it been GOOD. I was just wondering if anyone ever falls into these old dishes that are remembered without much fondness, and like to turn them into some really wonderfully soul-satisfying comfort food.
