Comfort Food


It's a weird world we live in when I can convince myself that blackberry cobbler is good for me.
There's something about the simplicity of it. There's no disodium inosinate - whatever that is - among the butter and flour and sugar and berries.

And if it's cooked in vintage Corningware, I'm not worried about a light sprinkling of melted plastic.
Technically the material that makes up that pot was originally designed for rockets - but it has a sixty-year track record.

I worry so much about the future, my own and the country's. I read the front page of the newspaper as I wait for the elevator at work in the morning, and I'm nearly undone by lunch time. I have a strict No-TED-Talks Before-Bed policy.


Corningware and Cobbler. Safe and familiar.
It gives new meaning to comfort food.

  1. I worry too...

    a little comfort at a time may do the trick...at least in our own little worlds.

    Comfort food must be a cure - I wrote about it today also. I don't have corningware but I do use my familiar grandmother's linens and dishes.

    And yes... you are in good company... I worry too...

  4. Jkd : isn't it funny that something we think of as vintage now was once "revolutionary technology"? I just learned that little tid-bit the other day.
