Let’s play.

Just a simple question.

No hard thinking required.

.

.

What do you reach for when you’re feeling down?

When it’s dark and dreary outside?

When the world is simply too much… what’s on your plate?

For me, it’s homemade macaroni and cheese with a buttery crumb topping. The ooey, gooey packed with fat and carbs, no such thing as too much cheese kind. I may not be able to fit into my jeans after I eat it… but I’ll be smiling when I reach for my stretchy pants.

How about you.

What’s your go to comfort food?

  1. None really…comfort feeds my anxiety & depression. So it’s a false sense of comfort but on particularly blue days its angel cream filled donuts with a hot cheetos chaser

  2. I don’t think I have a comfort food. I did when I was a kid but now? No. Yesterday on the way back from the funeral home I was all “Cake, I need cake” and I’m not much of a cake eater, I’m a total pie person. We each got a fresh donut and I wanted a Mrs. Smith’s pumpkin pie but they didn’t have any, anyway, I never ate my donut – just didn’t want it once I got home. So – no comfort foods for me…tho this has made me think of pastina – something they don’t carry around here.

  5. I’m going to have to give you credit for my new comfort food. That’s the Wild Rice and Turkey/Chicken soup recipe you posted a while ago. The one with mushrooms and cream, that’s my new comfort food for a cold and rainy day. Along with some crusty bread and I’m in heaven!

      1. No such thing as bad pizza. Only inferior pizza. When I was in the Navy it was a mission for me and a couple other guys to have pizza in every country we visited. In Romania we could barely communicate what we wanted. Turned out it was some kind of goat cheese pizza. Not my favorite but I ate every bite!

  8. Chicken noodle soup. The watery thin stuff Campbells makes. It was a wintertime lunch. I drank all the water out of the noodles, then swallowed the clump of slimy noodles in one gulp. Sounds awful, but I had weird tastes back then.

  10. Mostly it depends on what I need comforting from, which is not a normal thing for me as I take most things in life in stride. But after reading about Lewiston I got out a sleeve of Premium Crackers and a bottle of Cheez Whiz kept in the back of the fridge just for these occasions, and long past its Best Before date. I slap some Cheez Whiz on cracker after cracker until the whole sleeve is devoured. By the time that happens I might not be in a good place yet, but I’m in a better place than when I started…

      3. Cheddar, yes, of a sort. Good cheddar, no! Think of it this way: What they used to call Mild they now call Medium. What they used to call Medium they now call Extra Old. What they used to call Old or Extra Old does not exist anymore. And what they now call Mild might not be cheese at all — it tastes like sour mush!

  14. Since I’m insulin resistant I can’t eat a lot of things but when I’m feeling really down I’m thinking “screw that” and endulge in anything that I’m not allowed to eat, especially cheese cake or pie.
