Thursday Live, Episode 236: Bright Little Leaves

When I was at U.B.C. in the early sixties, I used to get out of the pouring rain into the bookstore , sit up to the counter, and have a big, beautiful, U.B.C. cinnamon bun slathered in butter. Now, that was comfort!

Cinnamon Buns make everything better!

My Mother used to put friar’s balsam in a steamer and turn it on in the bedroom with us when we had chest colds. I did not like the smell of it. Her parents were from St. John’s- maybe it was a Nfld. thing.
A comfort food for me is beef stew. Yum!

I like a bit of chartreuse for a bit of “poison”.

My family would have dumplings (dough boys) as we call them with beef stew, pea soup would be good!
