Cold weather comfort foods (and drinks)
We don't know about where you live (well, Keri, we can make an educated guess about Saskatoon), but it is C-O-L-D outside the ROUTE 1 compound this morning. The thermometer reads 13 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-11 Celsius) with a wind-chill reading closer to 3.
Perfect timing, then, for ROUTE 1 readers to answer the following FRIDAY QUESTION:
"What is your favorite food to eat on a cold day?"
RICK T. -- Grilled cheese sandwich.
ELLEN B. -- A big bowl of chili with lots of cheese and Fritos on top. Yummm!
INGER H. -- First, remind me what a "cold" day is? We've had an unseasonably warm fall, even by our standards. Yesterday, it was in the mid-70s. Funny to see people actually wearing coats and scarves, unable to reconcile the date with the weather. But, if I'm remembering right, cold weather makes me want to eat hearty soups like Butternut Squash and other comfort foods like Mac and Cheese.
BEKAH P. -- Chicken Fettucini Alfredo and hot-spiced cider. Yum! I love winter food.
MARY N.-P. -- To eat... or drink? We love to fix a steaming mug of hot chocolate (and I mean some good dark cocoa like Ghirardelli's) and add some peppermint schnapps -- Oh my, what a treat!
STEVE M. -- Chili.
ANNIKA H. -- Pizza.
ROSEANNE H. -- My homemade split pea with ham hocks soup along with some warm garlic sourdough French bread. Yum.
KERI M. -- Eat... anything warm. Drink... Campfire Hot Chocolate. This is a great winter beverage to make after a night of shoveling, or when getting back from Christmas shopping. The recipe makes about a 2-liter container: 2 cups Hot Chocolate mix, 1-1/2 cups Coffee Mate, 1-1/2 cups (white) Sugar, 1-1/2 cups Instant Coffee Mix, 1 tsp Cinnamon. Mix up to 3 tsp with 1 cup hot milk (or water, but I like milk). Top with whipped cream if desired.
MIKE M. -- Grilled brats and beer.
MIKE D. -- Mashed potatoes and gravy, as long as it's served with turkey and dressing, baked beans, corn, rolls, seven-later salad and a whole lot of family!
KERSTIN H. -- Remember, I get the broccoli and cheese soup and you get the other thing.
BRIAN M. -- Either chili or breakfast food, food that gets you ready to hibernate.
ERIK H. -- My first choice would be meatloaf and mashed potatoes, smothered in gravy. My second choice would be cheese and broccoli soup.
