Food for Comfort

Winter is here!

Winter is one of my favourite seasons, a time to add some extra bed coverings; wear extra undies, jackets and scarves and eat comfort food.

Winter on the Gold Coast is not like winter in colder climes, it doesn't snow and frosts are few, but nonetheless it is winter. A bowl of soup and a hot pudding still go down a treat when the opportunity arises.

Inspired by a workmate, who told me she had rustled up a Baked Jam Roly Poly pudding for dinner on Sunday evening, I decided to make one for dinner last night to follow Baked jacket potatoes, served with grated cheese,baked beans and bacon. Roly Poly used to be a favourite pudding in my childhood. I couldn't wait to give it a go, accompanied of course, by custard.

Tuesday is the evening for sharing a meal with a dear friend and our daughter, both independent dwellers, who come and share a home cooked meal with my husband and I, and lend a family atmosphere to these very special evenings. I remembered to take a photo to make your mouth water. I confess the setting could be better and the photo of the bowl is a little blurred, but I think you'll get the idea.

We all enjoyed the meal, by the way. Request for next Tuesday is Lemon Meringue Pie, I've only made that once or twice, so wish me luck!

Have a GREAT day
Simply Susan
