comfort food

When I am not feeling well I want few things, and those few things consist of the following:

tea

hot chocolate with whipped cream

chocolate pudding and jello with Cool Whip (from when my friend Athena brought me a weeks worth of pudding and jello to live on, the week I had my wisdom teeth out, 11 years ago. I especially love chocolate pudding topped and jello topped with Cool Whip. Of course, now, I never eat this. And when I do, its organic dairy free chocolate pudding or vegetarian jello with real whipped cream. I know- it makes no sense. But there ya go. )

macaroni and cheese (gourmet or boxed. When I first moved out, my then roommate and friend Malinda and I uses to have "Mac-n-Cheese Parties late at night. We'd buy a couple of different types- cartoon charcters, spiral, elbow and mix them together. Also, when I baby sat my brothers during summer vacation, in my teenage years, I would make a daily meal of mac-n-cheese and kool aid. Those things just go together. Processed crap at it's finest!)
eggs on toast ( this consists of 2 eggs and two pieces of spelt bread. Fry the eggs, butter the toast salt and pepper to taste. Add a cup of coffee and it makes it better. my first love used to make this for me, for breakfast often. I equate it with love. So I make it for myself when I am needing to feel a little love for myself.)

oranges (in my childhood, my brother and I had a particularily bad bout of the flu. My mom had brought home a big bag of oranges and we devoured them all. Guess we needed the vitamin C and the liquid...)

homeade chocolate chip cookies (I prefer warm from the oven, lots of brown sugar, butter and vanilla, milk chocolate chips and walnuts and big glass of milk. I used to make an amazing Chocolate chip cookie once upon a time. But I have since stopped making them years ago, because if I make them- I will eat them all! I also really love a warm Mrs. Field's cookie with macadamia nuts, from the mall. Actually I think they only have one location left at Clackamas town center...though it might be gone now...)

Since I stayed home today, not feeling well, I watched movies, made eggs on toast, had an orange. It made me feel a little better, but damn, I am craving a chocolate chip cookie something fierce. Hmmmmm......
