Home cooked food.

I am referring to the food that your mom cooked when you were a child. One of my favourite foods as a child was homemade mac'n'cheese, and have found myself making it at least once a month. I make it similar to how my mom did most of the time, but sometimes I feel adventurous and add other ingredients like broccoli, tomatoes, different cheeses(strong/old cheddar, need to try other types though) or mushrooms. Each ingredient adds its own dimension to the mac'n'cheese and gives it a warming, comforting feeling. Another favourite homemade meal is beef stew with dumplings, and now that winter has arrived I have been making this for myself a couple times a month.

What are some of your favourite comforting home cooked foods from childhood?

Cold beer on a hot day.

A rather nice way to reward yourself after a hard days work, especially if you work outside during the summer, is coming home and enjoying a cold beer on a patio or deck.

#97

Warm towels.

I do believe that one of the greatest feelings, is having a warm towel available when you finish bathing. It can get its warmth from being on a radiator or just come from the dryer, no matter how it's warm, it's a fantastic feeling drying yourself with it.

First listen of a new album from one of your favourite bands.

What I love about this is when you buy the album new, and have the artwork and lyrics. I enjoy listening and following the songs lyrics throughout the progression of the album.

Fresh bedsheets.

I love the first nights sleep on freshly fitted bedsheets. I think everyone knows the feeling of getting into bed and not feeling any bunched up fitted sheet against your back, and the smell from the laundry detergent. I believe I have my best nights sleep when there are fresh sheets on the bed.

#100 - 100 Comforting Things

When dressing myself I like to put jeans on before socks, and keep the socks of for as long as possible. There is a feeling of freedom, and the cool air feels good on the toes and tops of my feet. I have felt comfort from this for a long time, and hope I still do in the future.

100 Comforting Things

I know I am taking a page from the 1000 awesome things website by doing this but hopefully I won't double up too much.
My list of stuff is what I find comforting to me, or enjoyable, and will be posting one a week as long as I remember. Also they will not be in order of how comforting or enjoyable they may be, so 100 will not be less enjoyable than number 1, but rather its equal.
