msfledermausSince it's been a not-very-comforting week this week I've been thinking about comfort food. I just mailed off the kheer recipie to another LJ user who's a caramom freak like me. This weekend Ben the Neighbor and I are thinking about curry since he has chicken and I have, well, everything else:) I just finished a peanut butter bagel for breakfast. I have soba noodles and beef brothe..dinner? I wanna make soup some more since it's cheap and good and can feed me for days and days until I get paid again...
What do you crave when you need a little extra soothing? Do you cook? Order pizza? What do you cook? (Go ahead and throw in recipies if you like.) Not everyone can snort wasabi powder like me:) (ohhh, okay, only if you really want to...)

Date: 2002-11-07 06:35 am (UTC)Ice cream. Any flavour. Any quantity. If it's got big lumps of sticky sweet stuff in it then that's even better. I'll even stoop so low as ice cream on a stick. And it's the ultimate in comfort food because it's filling and sensual and luxurious.
Now? I refuse to buy comfort foods most of the time. I gave in the other day and bought a packet of biscuits (ginger creams) and promised that I would only have one or two with a cup of tea. Half an hour after I got home they were gone. Hence why I refuse to buy stuff like that.

Date: 2002-11-07 07:02 am (UTC)comfort food?
your curry. :)
indian curry, rice, stirfry, potatoes, chips and salsa, spaghetti with homemade sauce, fresh baked bread, oranges (only really cold from the fridge), hamburgers, french fries, mom's chicken noodle soup, The St. Clair Broiler's philly cheese steak samich, bagels, breakfast food.
i have for some reason outgrown my love of sweet stuff- or at least, my need to binge on sweet stuff. i used to be able to pack away a pound of m&m's when depressed or menstrual. but now i can barely get through a whole fudge bar, and i only eat candy bars every couple of months or so.
that's good for me, because the healthier i eat, the less chance i'll get diabetes like my pop.
this reminds me: now that it's cool out, i should start baking oatmeal bread again!
who wants a loaf? :D

Date: 2002-11-07 10:31 am (UTC)I am a big ice cream lover, meself. The freezer feels so empty if there isn't ice cream in it. My favourite flavour (tee hee) is Chocolate Almond. Chocolate AND Ice cream. Yum.

Date: 2002-11-07 10:37 am (UTC)My all time fave comfort food is probably the oddest I've ever heard of. Whenever I'm feeling really sick, or just beaten and worn, I like to have a cup of Lipton tea with honey, and some toasted white bread with a leeetle bit of butter. And then I dunk the toast in the tea, and eat it up. That, or saltine crackers dunked in hot cocoa.
I don't know where I came up with this stuff. I've liked these two things since I was a kid. No one in my family likes these things. I guess it relates to sitting at my grandma's kitchen table, late at night or early in the morning. She'd always have her coffee, and dunk Stella Doro cookies in it, annisette biscotti or these other cookies. She'd make me cocoa, instead of coffee. But I don't know where I got the idea to dunk crackers in it.
Other comforts: Chocolate, especially chocolate with almonds, halva, canolis, fresh mozzarella
Damn. Now I'm hungry.

Re:
