Snowy Days and Comfort Foods

Winter dull drums have set in with a cloudy inversion. Along with the gray, bleak days here, our family has yet another viral cold and is still getting over the cough of the last viral "bug." Last Thursday we had to have Chicken Lasagna with a Parmesan white sauce and green olives for dinner. Of course, reading The Thief, The Queen of Attolia, and The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner (which take place in the Mediterranean region) also encouraged this dinner with a green Romain side salad. Friday, we made homemade Chicken Noodle Soup with many times more vegetables and a dash of dill, basil, and bay spices. Along with the soup we enjoyed Cheese Scallion Scones and salad. When sick, we seek company in familiar, soothing foods. Bon Appetite!
