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?

I've got a few, actually. Tea - a good, hot cup of tea, possibly with sugar.

Toast with cheese and tomato chutney or an egg on toast.

A good plate of stiry fried vegies.

Lemon slice or hedgehog which are so not of the healthy and are never as nice as I think they'll be but I cave and have them ever so often.

French toast with cinnamon sugar.

Lindt Chocolate.

Hedgehogs? Like the cute little spiny pets?

You don't know hedgehog? Dude. Canadians must have allhad deprived childhoods. It's a sort of traditional chocolate + biscuit slice. It's everywhere - all bakeries, sandwich places and things sell it. here's a recipe. Half a cup of sultanas works well in it, too and so does pressing coconut or hundreds and thousands into the top. *grins* Homemade hedgehog is SO much better than the bought stuff ever is.

Do you even have Marie biscuits? They're plain sweet biscuits, basically. Stale ones work best in it.

Marie biscuit? Is that like Graham crackers?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bounce_/]

I think so. Graham crackers are sweet and plain, yes?

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Yes. Often given to very small children/toddlers.

Then, yes. You'd use them. Make it some time. It's *really* good.

Sure. Next time I'm baking* I'll throw some in.


* I can say 'next' because I'm sure that at some point, one of my friends will try to force me to bake something. I'm hoping the kitchen fire is only a minor one. Also, that it occurs in someone else's home.

Boo. It's not baking. Aside from melting butter which you can do in the microwave (and I have) it's just mix. place in pan. Refridgerate overnight. Chocolately goodness abounds. :)

I'm kinda getting a craving for it, actually.
