My mother is a very good and talented cook, but I can't remember one dish that she makes that I really like. Her folks died of heart problems, and even though she's skinny as heck, she's got high cholesterol, so what she makes is very "healthy" food. My prime example of how much it isn't comfort food is when I came home to curried zucchini pancakes one night. They still tease me because I feel the urge at any meal to ask what on earth is in it, but trust me, you have to because she goes for some real unusual stuff (read: weird).
