This constitutes all the #litsylove snail mail I received in 2021. As a kid, I had lots of pen pals…because that was a thing you did in the 70s…wrote letters, exchanged friendship books and slams. It has been so much fun getting to know my fellow littens the old fashioned way. @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Tattooedteacher @BookNAround @CoffeeNBooks @Crazeedi @Lovesbooks87 @AmyG @Soubhiville @catiewithac @Moonprismpower @Mrs_B @quietjenn @ —->

And for those of you I have yet to get to know….here comes 2022. Happy New Year all. 2y

When the boyfriend is away I make spaghetti and catch up on #LitsyPenPal @Robothugs 😊 He hates spaghetti so I never make it when he is home. It is one of my favorite comfort meals. #CooksOfLitsy #MyLifeInBites

What is your favorite comfort meal?

TheLibrarian Homemade sour kraut and hot dogs. 6y
BethM Homemade Mac n cheese 6y
Robothugs Yay!! 😄 Spaghetti is awesome. Apple pie... which I guess is more of a dessert but my mom‘s apple pie is the best. 🙌🏻 6y

JoScho lol who hates spaghetti? 6y
CoffeeNBooks spaghetti & meatballs or homemade chicken pot pie 6y
mcipher My husband is away tomorrow so we‘re having lasagna or homemade pizza - total comfort foods which my son and I love and the husband hates. 6y
MinDea @mcipher my boyfriend hates lasagna too! I love it!!! That sounds like a fantastic evening with your son! 6y
MinDea @JoScho 😆😆 so true! 6y
MinDea @Robothugs I need that apple pie recipe! 😀 6y
MinDea @coffeenbooks yes!!! I love both those! 6y
HiddenGemBooks Shepard‘s pie... hmmm about to have some now... an hour in the oven, but it‘s worth it ☺️👌 6y
MinDea @BethM luckily my boyfriend likes Mac n cheese. He would be pretty pissed if I made that and he was gone! 😆😆 6y

MinDea @Thelibrarian nice! 👍 6y
MinDea @JamieArc I do!!! I love making my own sauce! 6y
MinDea @HiddenGemBooks Yum!!!! I love shepherds love! Sounds like a great plan😀 6y
DrexEdit He hates spaghetti? That's unpossible! 😊 I'm a Mac & cheese person, but I'd do spaghetti if the Mac or cheese isn't readily available. 6y
CoffeeNBooks @MinDea Yum! I'll have to try that recipe the next time I make meatballs! 6y
MinDea @DrexEdit 😆😆😆 He's weird 6y
DrexEdit @MinDea that's why we love them, right? 😊 💜 6y
MinDea @DrexEdit Yes! I love him very much. But I wish he liked spaghetti. And lasagna. 😆😆😆 6y
AlaMich How....how can anyone hate spaghetti?!?! 😳 6y
MinDea @AlaMich 😆😆 6y
AlaMich @MinDea @mcipher I always hated lasagna too, until I realized that what I really hate is ricotta cheese 😖. So I found a recipe (and I‘m sure there are many) for lasagna without it. It‘s sooo good! 6y
MinDea @AlaMich that was my boyfriend's reason for hating lasagna too! He hates ricotta cheese! I make mine with creme fraiche or cottage cheese and he will eat it but he still isn't a lasagna fan. ☹️ 6y
Daisey Spaghetti is one of my go to comfort meals as well. 6y
Johanna414 Spaghetti is one of my absolute favorites! My husband doesn‘t like it either- he‘s Italian and apparently ate it waaaaay too much growing up? So the kids and I go to my in-laws for dinner without him whenever his mom is making spaghetti 😂 6y
Ashley85 Tacos! And spaghetti is the best! 6y
Lreads Spaghetti is yummy comfort food! I also like baked potatoes with butter, salt, and pepper. 😋 6y
Ms_T That looks delicious! Not exactly a meal but chocolate is my comfort food 🍫 6y
AllenTStClair Chicken with saffron rice and peas. Soooo yummy! 6y
MinDea Uhhhh Yum. @AllenTStClair You should share that recipe with me! 😀😊 6y
AllenTStClair @mindea I‘ll happily include it in your #FeedAReader box later this year. Or email me at allen.t.st.clair@gmail.com and I‘ll send it to you sooner. 😉 6y
MinDea Yes!!! So excited ! Thanks @AllenTStClair !!! 6y
Beckys_Books Fried chicken 6y
MinDea @Beckys_Books Yum! Fried chicken. I have only tried to make it once and it was a disaster! 😆 It was burnt on the outside and very raw on the inside. 😆😆😆 We ordered a pizza that night! 6y
mcipher @AlaMich @MinDea Mine hates ricotta, too. But even if I remove it and do something else he doesn‘t like lasagna. And I feel like ricotta is half the POINT. I love ricotta!! 6y
AlaMich @mcipher But it‘s kinda...I dunno, spongy... 6y
mcipher @AlaMich And gritty! But I still love it. 🤷‍♀️ 6y
TheKidUpstairs I don't understand how someone could hate spaghetti!?!?! Pasta is my go to comfort food, too 😁 And what I make when it's just me for dinner, because I can throw a delicious pasta together quickly and with minimal effort! 6y
SilversReviews I LOVE spaghetti. :) I made some delicious sauce the other day. The house smelled like an Italian restaurant. :) 6y

Hi @catiewithac! I got your email this morning and got to work finding you a new pen pal. I am so sorry the first match didn't reply to your letter.

So excited to introduce you to your new pen pal; @JamieArc ! I grew up with her so I know her in real life. She WILL reply to your letters and I think you guys will have quite a bit in common!! 🤗🤗 Feel free to exchange email here! Happy pen paling!

#ListyPenPal

[DELETED] 3803335244 Oh I‘m so glad she got a new partner. I wonder why people sign up for stuff then never reply or send?!? It‘s mean. But I‘m so glad she has another Litsy penpal! 💜💜💜 6y

MinDea @Bourriquet76 I did a small pen pal matching a while ago. She had signed up for it with me and I guess her pen pal never replied. Someone else did 2 larger pen pal matches around then too. I know a lot of people are interested who are newer to Litsy or missed the last sign up. Maybe we can get another one going sometime soon! 6y

Oh my, @erista , I love everything! Thank you! Opening your package was one of the first things I did when I got home. I love this bookmark (yes Littens, she made it!) and the necklace! 🙂❤️❤️

2BR02B That's a great necklace. I thought it was polished tigerseye until I looked closer and made out the tiny shelves. 😍📚 6y

erista I actually bought the necklace back in August, but didn't get a chance to send it until now. I got 1 for myself too so we're necklace twins, I guess. :) 6y

Attention: #litsypenpals!

Ok, really, not all of you. Just my matches! 😁

Please let me know if I owe you a letter. I feel like I had a lot of matches but have only corresponded with half of you. I thought I had caught up on all my letters and book mail, but I‘d feel terrible if I missed you by accident!

Watching all the book swap posts today has given me secondhand agita,apparently 😳

GA_Bookworm07 I guess i missed this but would love to have litsy pen pals 6y
