Sometimes when you have a bad day, there's that one special dish or type of food that makes everything for the moment feel better. What's your comfort food?

Mine, chinese food or mongolian b.b.q.
 
I guess mine is some type of chocolate. Candy, cookies, milk or milkshake.
 
Nothing, I've never comforted myself with food before. If I'm sick I like soup......does that count?
 
oh waittttttt. the madeleine cookie! that would be my comfort food.

too bad I can't eat it on regular basis cuz of ridiculous amount of butter in it. that spells heart attack and obesity. :(

It's a great food! And full of antioxidants.

We got a Cuisinart coffee maker with a built in grinder for Christmas, so now I have taken up coffee drinking with a vengeance.

I had to toss my old coffeemaker recently. So my new one is what I have wanted for a long time. [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009MZ67Q/ref=ox_ya_os_product%20%20//url"]Cold brew[/ame]. The directions were in Japanese, but I discovered that it requires chopsticks to stir the slurry. I also got a grinder. I steep the ground bean for 24 hours, and when it is done I add almost the same amount of water to the concentrated coffee.

It is so good that I had to switch to half caf four o'clock beans. Ground beans exposed to air and heat lose a lot of the aroma. Part of my problem with coffee was the burnt taste, especially when it has been on the hot plate too long. No problems now!! :cool2:

So do you drink it cold?
 
How about we ask ourselves, "What causes us to 'eat our feelings,' instead of constructively, nondestructively dealing with our feelings and what urges us to do these things to ourselves?" This is a BITCH for me right now. It's no secret for me - the fact is, my job is making me do it because I feel like my potential is wasted where I work, AND I don't like retail, period. It's a case of Dad working in a field he hated, but did it because he was good at it and made good money at it. For me, I never made good money at it. And I want out of the big city. Houston is TOO MUCH FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fact is, unless I deal with this, I will die from this. F* comfort food.

Sounds to me like you have serious anger issues right now, while I understand your going through a rough time, we all are! That's why I brought up comfort food. The idea is the little things that makes us happy.

Positive vibes!
