Welcome to Week 133 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!

After a rather Slippery week of entries, I thought we’d need a bit of respite from all the slipping and sliding and settle in for a bit of Comfort!  As the weather is getting colder in New England and many other places in the Northern Hemisphere, the idea of a cozy comfortable spot by the fireplace is rather inviting.  This led me to this week’s theme, which I hope you will all be comfortable with handling!  Think about what denotes Comfort to you and how you would capture it in your mind’s eye, or with your camera’s lens.

Be mindful and creative, and let fun and comfort collide into an expose on the finer parts of our human condition!  I look forward to your creature comforts!!

Here’s some comfort food to get you going…

Comfort food… You tempt me!

Macaroni and cheese is definitely one of my favorite comfort foods, as its cheesy, gooey goodness is just pleasing to the eye, nose and tongue!  Add some cubed ham and bake it in the oven and I won’t be late for dinner!!  I shot this image for a food photography class with the intent to create an image that would be at once inviting and give a sense of home-made comfort.  I did do a bit of food styling to get the look that I wanted (yes, there was a blowtorch involved 🙂 ).

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

Can’t wait to see what comforts will be highlighted this week!!

  17. Great. Now I want THIS for dinner … 😉
    Lovely prompt … and oh so apt for so many these days.
    Here is my contribution, partially blessing, partially prayer — the photo is of my nieces’ rescued dog, sleeping with a new toy on his first days at his forever home.

  25. Before I even saw your photo, I read the prompt and thought Mac & Cheese!! And then there was your amazing photo. Very delicious I’m sure. Best comfort food ever.

  32. I’ll have to dig deep and think long about this one. I grew up in the West Indies. Nothing in this part of New Jersey reminds of my childhood so I may have to find another way to express the word.

    1. I’m comfortable with your ability to come up with something great!

  36. Mmm, nice photo Frank. Must admit that food does come immediately to mind when I think of comfort, even thought the weather is warming up here. Have a great weekend.

    1. I think ice cream might be the right comfort food for your weather 🙂

      1. Nope, it’s not hot enough yet! Hang on, what am I saying, who needs an excuse for ice cream 😬

  37. Love this Frank! I’m in. Will you keep my post in your thoughts? Not sure where the direction is going for my take exactly. Thanks 🙂 Blessings, Debbie

  38. […] When I broke two ribs a month ago, I bought this new heating pad on Amazon and it brought me a great deal of comfort.  Although I don’t need it so much anymore for my ribs, I find that if I turn it on before I go to bed it is warm and cozy when I climb in!  My submission to Dutch Goes the Photo’s weekly challenge with the theme of Comfort […]

    1. Glad to hear you’re feeling better and that the heating pad helped! Great post.

  39. […] This week’s challenge: Comfort […]

  40. And mac and cheese?!? Yes!! Delightfully comforting!! I’m sure I have a picture of my ‘mac-n-chez’ as I try to do it without dairy {and using spaghetti squash!}, so it’s not quite the same as the real thing, it’s better for my health!! I’m so glad I was able to join you this week 🙂

    1. I have used spaghetti squash before and it’s a pretty good substitute, but not quite the level of yumminess 🙂

      1. It’s a whole different food – getting the mouth feel of the ‘chez’ is the most difficult….though homemade cashew milk helps 👍

  41. For writing about comfort I really had to dig deep which is also a topic in my convenient post and scheduled pingback to follow in ca. 9 hours. Nice weekend @ Ulli

    1. Perfect timing! Looking forward to it, Ulli.
