I don't know about you, but as we find ourselves in these historic times, all I want to do is make a big pot of mashed potatoes, put about a pound of butter in, and just sit down in front of some silly old television sitcom.

I mostly just want to carb out. But then sometimes, I want to make that Coke Cake I just read about here and just eat it all by myself.

And I think about melted cheese a lot, too.

I have been going to put one of those healthy-type recipes on that I get from that Dr. Weil newsletter, the one with all those beans in it. Beans all over the place. And although I like beans a lot, lately I just want to smother them in sour cream. Lots and lots of sour cream.

And I also am thinking a lot about big hunks of red meat. Or maybe even the best meatballs ever. (We have been so virtuous lately with all the fish we have been eating.)

Mr. Boomer will be so happy that I am in this mode. I have told you before that the only woman in the world that I fear he would leave me for is Paula Deen. I find myself getting ready to dig out that Paula Deen cookbook. Mr. Boomer will be so glad.

So if you know exactly the feeling that I am talking about -- when comfort food is what it just has to be. I hope you will share your favorite recipes or suggestions. I need all the help I can get.

Thanks.

Boomer
