How do we define comfort; no idea to be honest, I guess it means something different for everybody. I do know that a lot of comfort comes from food and through the selection of the ingredients, the cooking method, the presentation, the colors, the texture, you can create comfort food. Also how your serve it, when you serve and with whom you’ll share it; it will all determine the degree of comfort.
What will you be doing tonight? I don’t think I will be glued to the TV tonight to follow the results, but checking every now and then; sure I will do that, but I am way more interested in what will happen next; how we will our divided nation unite again. I know one way, share and spread the love of food. Try this Pumpkin Pepper Pearl Couscous.
Another way to work pumpkin puree in an easy recipe is in combination with pasta, like this Zebra Pasta.
