Willy and Carnival of the Recipes - Comfort Food?

Welcome to the January 20, 2008 edition of carnival of the recipes.

Welcome to you from Hillbilly Willy. Some people say that Willy is backwards and a little strange but this weeks Carnival of the Recipes is entitled "Comfort Food" and some of them are a little strange.

Well, Willy is going to give you all of these recipes that were received under the title of "Comfort Food" whether Willy understands all of them or not. Some of these recipes will have a little comentary by Willy and some will just be presented. Willy's comments will be in red. The comments that come with the recipe is as presented. Please take no offense at what Willy says. Willy is a little satirical in this blog. Whatever that means.

Kick back and relax as Willy takes you on this weeks journey through what people call their "Comfort Food"

Willy starts out by a food presented at EGO: PIROZHKI posted at EGO.
This is claimed to be a food from Finland. Some of the measurements and some of the ingredients Willy dont even understand but if Willy lived in Finland - I bet Willy would like this food.

The next recipe is by Coturnix who presents How to Fix an Authentic Serbian* Sarma (Stuffed Cabbage) posted at A Blog Around The Clock. Well, Willy has a little trouble sometimes with Cabbage (if you know what I mean) and Willy don't have many friends form Serbia. Not even sure where that is at. I suppose it is a little south of Angola maybe!

Deb Bixler presents Tomato Soup with Quinoa » Increase Metabolism & Live Healthy posted at Increase Metabolism & Live Healthy, saying, "This wholesome variation of the traditional comfort food is a great option for vegetarians as it contains high quantities of protein."

Willy done went to the dictionary to find out what Quinoa was and found that Quinoa originated in the Andes region of South America. Here we go again. Willy done found out that several of these folks are a little confused about "comfort food" Grain that isn't really grain from South America in Soup is not real comforting to Willy. Can somebody spell Fried Chicken?

GP presents Start your New Year Right .. and Green posted at Innside Montana-Your Home at the Range, saying, "This time of year, we start thinking about what we could have done better. Maybe you regret how much family time you wasted watching the idiot box or that night you let your kids eat ice cream for dinner. Good news: 2008 is a clean slate. So, what will you do with it"
Well, Willy knows what he ain't going to do with it. He aint going to eat organic pancakes as suggested in this site. Man, so far all of ya'lls comfort food is too healthy. Can anybody spell "grease"

Amanda presents Recipes: Best Meatballs posted at Pajama Mommy.

Now that is a little more like it. Meatballs would fall into my comfort food if their is some Spahgetti with it.

Melanie Rimmer presents Bean Sprouts: Duck Soup posted at Bean-Sprouts, saying, "Duck soup (or turkey, goose, pheasant - whatever bird you've got)"

This really gives Willy some comfort. Bean Sprouts. Willy feels all comfy now!

Ok now. GS is getting the spirit. The word fat is even in the post. Here comes the words BBQ and sausage and Jalapenos. This has got to be comfort food! How do you spell Rolaids?

gs presents The Fatty - Fattystyle posted at Bossystyle BBQ, saying, "A wonderful recipe of breakfast sausage, cream cheese, more sausage and some Jalapeños all smoked to succulent perfection using wood."

Sunny seems to be working on the right idea of comfort to. What can be wrong with home made bread. Especially if you smother it in a little butter.

Sunny presents Basic Sourdough Bread Recipe posted at Dandelions and Daydreams, saying, "Have you ever wanted to make homemade sourdough bread? Here's a recipe for it. There is also a link to the starter recipe."

Hello? Recipe Bloggers - you tell me. Left this next one in but somehow ole Samuel forgot to throw in a recipe. Has a lot of facts about why Willy should eat Kangaroo but since Walmart dont sell Kangaroo meat Willy has a problem. Thanks Samuel for all that Knowledge. 10-4 from Willy

Samuel Bryson presents Kangaroo Meat – Good For You AND the Environment: posted at Total Wellbeing.

GP says in this next blog (second in this series) that a hot bowl of Chicken soup is what Willy needs. Could be right on that one. Gives comfort when Willy feels bad!

GP presents Surviving Winter Simply posted at Innside Montana-Your Home at the Range, saying, "surviving winter simply... and a bowl of hot soup"

Wow Katy - Willy aint sure exactly what Fennel is but when Willy went to this recipe he found comfort that a nice looking young lady like your picture could be a lawyer in NY and still know how to cook. Ever been to a NASCAR RACE?

Katy presents Orange Fennel Salad posted at sugarlaws.

Melanie Rimmer presents Bubble and Squeak posted at Bean-Sprouts.

This one from Melanie comes to us from the UK. Pictures look good but Willy not sure what part is bubble and what part is squeak!

Marsha Hudnall presents Healthy Recipe: Endive Salad with Pine Nuts posted at A Weight Lifted.

Willy thinks he will pass on the above from Marsha. The only nuts Willy is around is those that go crazy and throw beer bottles after a NASCAR race.

Applebee’s French Onion Soup Recipe posted at Home Life Weekly, saying, "Recipe to make Applebees French Onion Soup" Willy says soup is good. French Onion Soup is Ok. Willy wants to go to France to get some

Expat Chef presents The Expatriate's Kitchen: Battle Orange: Update from the Front Lines posted at The Expatriate's Kitchen, saying, "Comfort food? Gnocchi, my first pick."

This stuff in the picture looks really good. Willy finds comfort in good fattening food and this looks that way. Way to go Expat Chef!

Chris presents Healthy Snack Idea: Walnuts, Pepitas & Berries posted at The Healthy Snacks Blog.
Willy lost three pounds just reading about this healthy snack. My bib overalls are getting loose!

Stephanie presents Stop the Ride!: Homemade Cornbread posted at Stop the Ride!.

Willys agrees - Stop the Ride - Willy would marry someone (if he were'nt already) if they can make good cornbread and Stephanie looks like she has got it figured out!

Kristina Libby presents Butternut Squash and Apple Soup posted at Spicy Secrets: Growing up through food, saying, "I'd love to share this butternut squash and apple soup recipe with everyone! Please check it out in my blog!"

Checked it out Ms. Libby - you can share it with Willy anytime!

Stefanie Hutson presents Lipstick on a Pig – Cooking with McDonald’s posted at Vat19.com slash Blog.
McDonalds will love this one and it is comfort food. Several recipes made with the major ingredient from McDonalds. Works on the NASCAR Circuit

Chief Family Officer presents Last night's dinner: Baked Fish posted at Chief Family Officer.

Chief Family Officer probably is cooking some good healthy fish, but to Willy good fish is fried Catfish or raw oysters. Willy backed up real quick when he seen the name in the recipe "Cooking Light" Their aint nothing Light about Willy.

Melissa presents King Ranch Chicken posted at A Penny Closer.

Melissa gives this one a little Mexican and a little chicken and makes it cheap. Good idea. But Willy went to the King Ranch one time and the only Chicken he seen down there was a Ranch Willy heard was on the way. Chicken Ranch - Ever heard of that one!

OK! Here are a few that I missed the first time around. Hope I get everything in.
