What is comfort food? You may also ask what's "good music" or a "pretty painting." It depends on the individual, a subjective standard. Saying all that, objectively, this meal is total comfort food. Creamy mashed potatoes, moist meatballs, and a rich, buttery mushroom sauce to top it all? We've already got our slippers and jammies on. Tip: To peel the carrot with less effort, lay it down on your cutting board and peel one half, rolling it as you peel. (Be sure to peel in a motion away from you!)
