Hmm. I don't think this formula quite works for me. Some of my comfort foods are ones that I enjoy preparing -- our favorite Sirloin Tip recipe is like that, for example. But good Mac and Cheese has always been a deep comfort food for me, and I've never really done homemade yet -- a box of Annie's will do for me.

So I'm not sure what the common thread is for me, if there even is one...
