Good morning SI, sorry I've been gone for awhile, had a bout of the flu, and my kids were sick off school, so had to take time out.

Do you have a favourite comfort food? Is there something you love to make, that helps you feel better?

If I had to pick one thing, it would be noodles with tomato sauce. It's something my parents always made for me, and something I just enjoy eating. We used to can tomatoes when I was little too, and nothing like fresh tomatoes on pasta.

So how about you? Whats your comfort food?

Coffee, but I try not to too much, it dehydrates me =(

Yeah, I get that too, always try and drink water when I'm drinking coffee. Especially now that it's getting hot here.

Any combination of carbs and fat.

YES!

Pizza for me!

Paella.

I learned the recipe from a fellow exchange student (from Spain's Mediterranean coast) while I was in college, and it's amazing. His mom made it for us while we were visiting, and I've been hooked ever since!

Pretty easy to adapt it into a jambalaya-style dish, too.

For me it is definitely soft scrambled eggs on toast, or a scrambled egg sandwhich on really soft white bread.

Pure comfort.

I second Pizza and throw in Energy Drinks.

Depends if I have to buy/cook it or if someone else is. If it's up to me, I'm going for pizza and chocolate milk. If someone is cooking, then it's home-made jambalaya (New Orleans style, of course).

Sour Patch Kids

I had surgery last summer and the first sweet thing I was able to eat without causing discomfort was sour patch kids. I loved them before, but now I crave them all the time.
