I'm embarassed to say for me its those horrible little chocolate covered donuts and a glass of milk. Least healthy food on Gods earth.
The YUM factor outweighs the Diabetes factor in this case.  |

The YUM factor outweighs the Diabetes factor in this case. True enough. But its the amount of fat in those little bombs thats truly frightening. But you know, I ride my bike three miles to and from work, and they're one of the few things that will cheer me up after yet another soul-crushing night on the job. So I'm willing to risk it. |

Sounds good sans the diet soda. |

...Other than that, I have found that mashed potatoes with eggs (sunny side up) are great against depression. Apparently potoatoes are rich in serotonin. (!) Note to self.... |

I'm sad. I'm having a large bowl of ice cream and a hot cup of Kenya Bold Tea to counteract this, which got me thinking...
We all get sad. What's your comfort food/beverage?
So.... ....... ...... ..... You never told us if the ice cream and tea helped make you a little less blue. |

Wow, it's been quite I while since I started this thread and I'm not sure what got me upset... Given that my post had a more level tone I'm guessing I was already quite alright by the time I posted this so presumably the tea and ice cream did the trick... I do remember that it was cookie dough flavoured ice cream |

Isn't it interesting, that food that is comforting is almost always high-calorie too? Cucumbers, lettuce etc. don't have any soothing effect at all, it seems.
I find Cucumbers terribly soothing: just peel 'em into a tepid bath and soak after sunburn.  |

Theres also a lot to be said about a simple pack of graham crackers and a glass of milk. Theres a treat I've loved since I was an ankle-biter. And a heck of a lot healthier that donuts. Plus they have quite the weird origin. http://www.snopes.com/food/origins/grahamcrackers.asp |

I will be the first to admit that I have personal issues with the whole idea of "childhood favorites as comfort food". My mother couldn't cook her way out of a paper sack with both hands, and help. Velveeta grilled cheese sandwiches on Wonder Bread and canned Campbell's tomato soup is still "that crap I had to eat if I was sick as a kid", not at all a comfort. I learned to cook from my various ethnically-diverse friend's families, purely as an act of self defense.
I just spent the last 3 days dealing with the imminent death of one of my oldest friends/my ex-wife's sister/long-term housemate in a terminal-care cancer hospice. On the way home from bringing my son to visit her, I stopped off to pick up a beef brisket to smoke all day tomorrow - one of her favorites. I think this is my new "comfort food". A tribute , a memorial and "something else to think about".
My sincere apologies for being overly-maudlin. It happens.
We all love you, Rose, and always will.

I'm sorry about your friend, Capn Harlock. Sounds like you have good memories, which can be somewhat comforting.
