Simply Thai comforts us with flavor and spice

LEO's Eats with Robin Garr

When you need comfort food, nothing else will do. When you’re feeling down, pulling up to a plate full of comfort may be the best thing you can do for yourself. So it was for me last week when I had to say good-bye to my beloved cat Spike, a ginger-color furball buddy who’d been my special friend and constant companion for more than 17 years. It was either ugly-cry or fill up on comfort food, so I decided to do both.

But here’s the funny thing: When I needed comfort food, I realized that comfort for me does not come from the nurturing culinary memories of a Louisville childhood. No, my culinary comfort needs are filled with the bright, potent flavors of Southern and Southeastern Asia.

Robin, so sorry to hear about Spike. Losing a family member is always sad and you have our sympathies. While Spike can never be replaced, I hope you soon find a new member to bring into your family.
