Made a huge batch of spaghettti sauce (Americanized bolonese) last week.  Had it for dinner again last night.

One of those things that gets better in the fridge. I'll make sauce, soup or? in big batches and do something a little different with it each night.

I have found with things like that, if you can vacuum seal them and freeze for a few days, the flavor is even better

I'll can large batches (something like 6+ pounds of beef/pork) and have them years later with no loss of comfort-food goodness and flavor.

Our problem is the black hole that is the freezer.

-- One Year Later --
"Honey, what the hell is this?"

I know that feeling, you find the unlabeled package of stuff with freezer burn that cannot be identified.  Recently had to unload a freezer that the drain plug got stopped up.  I think we fed the chickens 7-8 bags of forgotten garden items like carrots, apples and zucchini  and dumped 5-6 other unidentified items with no labels.

Back to comfort foods, just made a fried Spamwich sandwich  :tup:  found some SPAM hiding and it just seemed like the thing to do.
In God we trust, all others bring cash.

Do not say, Why were the old days better than these? For it is not wise to ask such questions.

Tonight I'm making weenie rollups with homemade bread dough and macaroni and cheese (not from a box)

I've learned to really appreciate the Russet Potato by making 'Jacket Potatoes' that are so good you'll want to eat the crispy skins (that have all the vitamins) every time. https://www.thekitchn.com/jacket-potato-22943799

Our shopping cart is starting to look like we're vegetarians because we have most of what we need in the freezer already.
Tonight was steelhead.
I've been making rabbit broccoli rice bake, quiches from our eggs, dressed up ramen, bass, turkey legs, pork ribs, ...

Nothing whispers the sweet southern sounds of comfort food like chicken and dumplins.     This version reminds me of the home cooked goodness you can find down at Tad’s on the Sandy River in Oregon.  I spent most of the day in the kitchen putting this together while my wife and daughter sewed up surgical masks.  More family time due to stay at home order is not a bad thing.
