Comfort food

[icehousebob]

Its cold and I'm at home with the dogs. I started a big kettle of split pea with ham soup. I started with a ham bone, a ham shank, 1/2 lb of slab bacon, two lbs. of green split peas, a giant onion chopped up, a bunch of chopped celery and grated carrots with enough water to cover it. Its been simmering all day and makes the cold weather easier to handle. Two of my sons have called and asked to come for supper. The can smell it miles away.

What do the rest of you cook for comfort food??????

WOW, that sounds good. For the past few weeks I have been thinking making that. I can never make it like Mom makes it , but it still tastes O.K.

I can smell that pea soup from here. This is one of my favorite comfort foods:

1 pkg boneless country style ribs 2-3 lbs

Sauce:

1 medium onion - 2 tbls brown sugar

1 clove garlic, sliced - 1/2 tbls dry mustard

1 tbls butter - 1 tbls vinegar

1 cup ketchup - 3 tbls worcheshire sauce

1 cup water - 1/2 tsp salt

Place Ribs in Dutch oven or roaster pan and add 1/2 cup water.

Cover and cook @ 325 for 1 hour, then drain juices.

In sauce pan, cook onion till soft; add garlic and cook 1 minute.

Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes.

Pour sauce over ribs, cover, and cook additional 1/2 hour.

Serve with Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Corn & Biscuits.

Use sauce for gravy.

I like to double the recipe, then freeze for another tasty meal, or use leftovers for

Barbecued Pork Sandwiches on fresh Bakery Buns.
