lunch box adventures

What is your comfort food? For many it's something simple, easy and reminds them of their childhood. One of the most comforting foods for me would have to be a simple bowl of Campbell's tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Nothing fancy. Nothing complicated. Okay well maybe I complicate it a bit now that I am a grown up. Sometimes I get all adventurous and stuff and slather dijon on the inside of the bread. And if I really want to be fancy, I melt a bit of butter and olive oil in the pan first (no need to butter the bread that way) to get a perfect grill. But that's it...oh and I use cheddar...none of that processed stuff.

I have a clear memory of my older sister Katie making me this lunch when I was little. It was the summer and I think she may have taken me swimming at the neighbourhood pool. We came home and suddenly it got very dark outside and there was a huge summer thunder storm. She made lunch for us and we ate it while watching an old Bugs Bunny VHS movie (probably the only one we owned). Now when I eat this meal it reminds me of her, those simple summer days and feeling safe and cozy inside our old home.

So...tell me...what's your absolute comfort food?
