I'm a comfort food love and this recipe from the Boston Herald was very good.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friends, Lisa. And, so close together, it must be hard knowing

that both of them are gone. How sweet of you to take food to them you knew they would enjoy. Sometimes I think we get more pleasure out of preparing and taking the food over to them than they have eating it. People always kid me about being "meals on wheels" for friends and neighbors, but I absolutely love cooking for people who are going through tough times, no matter what it might be; new baby, surgery, flu, cold, cancer.....doesn't matter. It's all I know how to do. I'm not great at coming up with the right words or good with running conversation, but walking into the house with a wonderful pot of homemade chicken soup, or a 3 layer chocolate cake doesn't require many words to go along with it.
I hope you have many good memories to draw from in knowing this precious couple, and many good years of being an angel on a friend's doorstep.

 
Thanks - it's DH that is a mess....

he was asked to speak at the funeral for the husband and he's been depressed all weekend because he gave an emotional speech and lost it a few times. Told him better that than someone who had no emotions but he doesn't believe me. Even though they were extremely active in their church, the typical Southern Baptist preacher did not personalize his part and gave a very hell fire and brimstone speach about death and getting your priorities straight.

 
Clofthwld and Barb, you are both so kind. A friend's mother lives

half way across the country, with no relatives in that city, and she has started to forget a lot (diagnosed with Alzheimer's) which of course causes my friend great concern. The good news is, there is a lady in this womans apartment building who takes her shopping,invites her for meals,etc. and generally keeps an eye on her - out of the goodness of her heart. People like her, and both of you, are who make this world a good place. I know this womans kindness helps my friend as well as her mother. Bless you both, and all others like you who take a minute out of your busy lives to think about someone else's needs.
