What's your comfort food for cold days?

You're right C/corner reading back there's a lot of potatoes mentioned.

We're having a sort of Cottage pie tonight but made with Puy lentils, we're not veggies I just like it made with lentils instead.

Just had a lovely rice pudding - very comforting!

Yay, Comfreyfan - I'm with you girl!!! (I wish I could make a rice pudding as yummy as the bought ones in trays though...!) Tonight I was tempted by macaroni cheese - with extra parmesan on top!!!
The baboons were chuffed with their baked potatoes at Knowsley today - hmm good idea!

Sounds tasty - how's it made?

Mash on toast for breakfast with cheese on top [esp if it is leftovers, tastes better]

Have you tried making it in a slow cooker? LadyWayne made some several weeks ago and it was lush - and I'm not a massive rice pud fan.

Manda we used this recipe but with Puy Lentils instead of red. :-

Lentil Pie, Recipe Lentil Pie

OK HeyWayne - your latest challenge is... to get LadyWayne to detail her recipe for rice pudding (hopefully including cream, vanilla and nutmeg) so all the grapes who don't understand can see the rice pudding light!!

I used to love hot scrummy crumpets( can't get crumpets over here), hot teacakes dripping with butter or thick hot buttered toast and a big mug of tea YUM

Do you want some extra carbs with that? Side of pasta or anything?

Recipes, recipes, folks - if we are all snowed in we need inspiration!!
As my earlier posts suggest I am in a quest for a recipe for some great rice pudding!!

[Madasafish]

My comfort for cold days? Home made thick soup.
And g&T - which works for hot ones as well.

Full english breakfast with a couple of rounds of toast and a big steaming mug of tea.
