Title: Comfort Food
Date: September 22, 2026

|~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~|

  Tomorrow is my next attempt at getting this damaged tooth
pulled, and I decided to try a bit of comfort food to help
my mood, stress levels, and blood pressure. Sadly, almost
all of my old comfort foods became unavailable once I got
bitten by the AlphaGal bug (damned ticks). I did remember
one that I hadn't had in years, though.

  It's a simple dish. US southern-style biscuits (not the
buttermilk ones in my case), and fruit pie filling. Cook
the biscuits, heat up the pie filing, and top the former
with the latter while serving. It makes for a really nice
alternative to toast and jelly, or even a cozy dessert to
have after a meal. I didn't have it often, but my grandma
made some occasionally when she had leftover filling from
all the pies and baked goos she loved making for everyone.

  It definitely helped with the mood problems. Strawberry,
blueberry, and apple fillings, shared with one of my mates.
We're gonna use the leftover filling to make a tricolor[^0]
pie, exactly opposite of how my grandmother did it. It'll
be a nice way to enjoy some sweetness before I'm possibly
out of commission for two weeks.
