Go Martha

February is Martha month. J.T. has chosen to cook from Martha Stewart's "Favorite Comfort Food". Now I wouldn't consider coq au vin or curry chickpea pie comfort food...but hey...it's Martha we're talking about here. She grew up on a different planet.

This book has already produced some winners for us in the past, including the "Best BLT" with roasted garlic mayo, "Toasted Oatmeal" and "Blueberry Pancakes".

Tonight we tried the Tomato Soup combined with the Grilled Cheese Sandwich: the ultimate in comfort food. Well, the tomato soup tasted like spaghetti sauce. Not ideal. The grilled cheese was predictable, though we learned that cooking it on lower heat for a longer time created a better result. I've tried covering the sandwich with a pot lid before, but I think it makes the bread a little soggy.

Tomato Soup Rating: okay
Grilled Cheese Sandwich: good
