Welcome to week two! The response to last Friday's prompt was nothing short of spectacular. I loved reading about all of the places that feel like home to you -- libraries, craft stores, beaches, and bowling alleys . . . faraway cities and the homes of close friends . . . forests and jungles and out in the country . . . tubs and cars and playing the tuba! So many spaces and places to call home. Best of all, you guys made me think about family and friends and good memories and I hope you experienced a little of that too.
Today's prompt is slightly (hugely?) different than last week's in that it will not involve a giveaway. Rest assured, though, that new pages will still be posted every Wednesday and that there are more giveaways to come. In the meantime, since you're here already, I'd love to read about your go-to foods, the ones that you just can't manage without . . .
When I first wrote this, I was sure my answer would involve three varieties of sweets. Sweets are definitely my go-to comfort foods. But after some thought, I realized that they hadn't made the list in the way that I originally expected. My answer is in the comments. Join me there and add your top 3!
Happy Friday friends!
My three food items are butter, eggs and tea.
ReplyDeleteTea is easy; I drink it daily and get a little jittery when I see that I'm nearing the last tea bag in the box.
The butter and eggs have to do with homemade treats. When the urge to bake strikes, it must be satisfied immediately. If there isn't enough butter to make chocolate chip cookies or if there is only one egg on the fridge door when I need three for my sister's banana bread recipe . . . well . . . it's not pretty. We always have eggs and butter nearby.
Chocolate, Strawberries and Pecorino Romano Cheese.... weird, but true I ALWAYS have these three things at home, and I'm always eating them!
ReplyDeleteorganic brown rice
ReplyDeletebrown rice pasta
butter :-)
and I almost always have the ingredients to bake goodies.
M & Ms (for me and my kids), shredded cheese (recipes always call for this) and tomato soup (ultimate comfort food).
ReplyDeleteApples, whole grain bread and chocolate. Strange combination but I thrive on these three.
ReplyDeleteInteresting question -- although I definitely have more than 3! For my very top three I'll go with: pasta, parmesan & olive oil. What else do you need? :)
ReplyDeleteBananas, Annie's Mac & Cheese and Cheddar Cheese
ReplyDeleteejricca@aol.com
Three categories of three
ReplyDeletekids lunches: bread, raspberry jam, applesauce
in the house: varieties of cheese, pasta, apples
just for me: ice tea, carrots, turkey (for sandwiches or snacking)
Pasta, peanut butter, and shredded cheese I guess... :-D naturally, the three do not go together.
ReplyDeleteMy three most important foods in the house:
ReplyDeletebread,
meat,
assorted veggies
Lotus
We always have sour cream (it goes with, in, on so many things), butter, and cheese. For us you can't go wrong with that. -Jessica L
ReplyDeletehmmm- pasta, tomatoes and chocolate (obviously they do not all go together!)
ReplyDeleteWithout sounding super strange....I'd have to say coffee, curry and peanut butter....but not all for the same recipe :)
ReplyDelete1) Speggtti O's for the kids,
ReplyDelete2) Manderian Orange Chicken (my absolute fav!)
3) Anchovies... Iknow! I know! but they have such a great saltiness about them, that everytime I go to the store I can't help but pick up a jar/can!
Easy! Coffee, cheese and fresh baguette!! Plus they are a killer combo! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis was a really great question! It made me stop and think!
ReplyDelete1) Sour Cream
2) Milk
3) Cheese
Boy, if you can't tell, I'm certainly not lactose intolerant! :)

I could not live without Mexican food, cheese, and apples. Just found your wonderful site and love the journal pages! Those journal pages are the neatest thing since the invention of sliced bread! My 16 year old grand daughter is a writer so I sent her a link to your site. Can't wait to see what other pages you come up with. One for every day of the year?

ReplyDeleteRitz Crackers (for my husband)
Plain Yogurt (I eat it with honey all the time, and put it in smoothies, and turn it into Greek yogurt)
Cheese (me and my kids eat cheese every day)
