Comfort............

That's comfort as in comfort food. I've often heard the question asked, "What is your comfort food?" I could never say. Could it be fried catfish with a spicy breading? No, that's a food that I absolutely love to eat, and I would call it delicious food, not comfort food. I finally realized what my comfort food is and it started when I was a kid, probably around 10 or 11 years old.

I used to spend many weekend nights at my friend Jennifer's house. On day Jennifer ask me if I wanted an egg sandwich. I wasn't sure, as I had never heard of an egg used that way. I was hungry, so I told her that I would like one. She showed me the correct way to prepare our sandwiches, which started with melting some butter in a skillet, then adding the egg. After the egg was cooked on one side she used a spatula to turn it over and then squash it to break the yolk and let it spread all under the egg. When that side was cooked, she lifted the egg and placed it on a slice of bread, salted and peppered it, and then covered with another bread. The finished sandwich was then placed on a plate along with a dill pickle on the side. (all our food was accompanied by a pickle, LOL) Ahhhh that is comfort!

I still occasionally decide to make an egg sandwich. When I put that egg in the skillet it always reminds me of those fun childhood days. Thanks for the memories Jennifer!!!
