To my wonderful anony-mouse: Whomever you are, thank you kindly!

I apologize for my absence. I just need to make it through the next two weeks, and everything should be okay. Not made of win for a while yet, but less twitch-inducing.

I suppose it's probably a good thing that my comfort foods are green tea and non-fat, extra hot, chai lattes. And sushi. Man, I need some sushi.

I am curious: You guys are a pretty mixed bunch -- what are your comfort foods? Why?

For me, drinking from a warm mug takes me back, aside from the standard 'something warm to wrap your hands around,' because I've spent a decent portion of my life taking or teaching figure skating. Drinking soup from a cup is a habit I do not think I will ever break.

Sushi is just simple, tasty, and delicious -- and, okay, it's rather ritualized compared to the way I usually eat. (Cottage cheese straight from the container, anyone?)


When you're in a bad mood, or you've had a long day, what do you find yourself craving?

Pudding. Of any kind, but especially chocolate or almond. Also stracciatella yoghurt.

I'd say tea, but I drink tea all the time anyway, but when I have a really bad day, it's either melissa or chamomile.

I do enjoy a nice ride pudding now and again -- although, I'm told some places they put egg in it, which is weird to me.

I am afraid I am not familiar with this 'stracciatella.' I don't suppose you'd mind enlightening me?

I drink tea on a fairly regular basis as well, but it's still calming to me. What I really love is the good green tea you get in Asian restaraunts that is so much better than anything you can make yourself.

Rice pudding is good, too. I'm from one of the places that don't put eggs in it. ;)

Stracciatella is originally vanilla icecream with chocolate shavings, but they also adapted the flavour for yoghurt and curd cheese and stuff. It's seriously yummy. :D
