January 13 - The Campfire Trail - That Comfort Food Time of Year

January 13, 2025

Day 1,200 of the Adventure


The very definition of comfort food is as follows: Comfort food refers to dishes that provide sentimental value or evoke feelings of nostalgia and warmth.  In my case today, all of the above applies. It's only been recently that I've begun cooking them on top of the woodstove. Ham and Beans is one of those foods that you cannot really mess up. Beans, Ham Hocks and Water. Total spent for a big pot of it was about five dollars. It's a process, but an easy and slow one. Soaking the beans for a day or two then slow cooking them until they are tender. The ham permeates it with flavor and once cooked, it goes down easy. Especially with a skillet full of fresh cornbread. (Baked in an iron skillet of course) We left them on the wood stove through the night to simmer. The aroma filled the cabin with a heartiness that's difficult to describe. January snow outside. Ham and Beans inside..... It's that time of year!
