Comfort comes in many forms. It can be a simple as the blessing of a bowl of soup on a very cold evening.

Catherine, I love chicken and dumplings! I haven't had the combo for years now... My better half doesn't like dumplings, but at least she does like roasted chicken... I'll have to find a restaurant that serves dumplings and chicken to satisfy my urge! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
