Haiku Friday: Comfort food

You know what I mean.

Here is mine:

Meatloaf sandwich? Yes.
It's rainy and cold. Gravy?
I nod happily.

Now it is your turn. Just make it 5 syllables/7 syllables/5, and make it real. I will create a mostly accurate bio of the winner here on Monday!

  1. Daughter has not called back.
    Is she O.K.? Sad? Sick? Glad?
    Some ice cream will help.

    Five Thousand. Loaves. Fish.
    Next day, they came to get more.
    Food? Or bread of life?

    Here in '11/12
    Baylor fans need less comfort....
    food. Year of the Bear.

  7. For some poor people
    "Comfort Food" just means having
    Anything to eat.

  10. Since ’69, cheap
    Jack-in-the-Box tacos have
    always made me smile.

    In college, I found
    Peanut M&Ms go great
    with margaritas.

    Now, I get comfort
    food each eve’ning. Hubby Dave
    makes our dinner.

    A spouse who cooks is
    The best comfort there is.
    Love in ev’ry bite.

  12. Jessica is right, though there are degrees of poor. We have yet to visit the food bank or anything....but we are still "cant pay for health insurance for entire family" poor. Its okay -we just take turns getting sick. We are "self employed/ phone co blew up house"poor. However, even if i was not, i still think you cannot beat 'five liters for eleven dollars a box' wine. I dont care enough to spend 5 dollats on one bottle. EVEN if it has a cork.

    Swiss: Small dumplings fried with scallions,
    In butter: "Knopfli."
