What 3 comfort foods do you always have on hand?

I'm a simple person & easily comforted by any of these 3:

cinnamon sugar to sprinkle on hot buttered toast
thick-cut rolled oats for a big bowl of hot oatmeal
eggs for poaching

When feelin' blah...do you have at least 3 comfort foods on hand for an immediate fix?

Peanut butter is the only thing that comes to mind.

Sharp Provolone cheese
good kalamata olives
roasted peppers in some olive oil and a splash of balsamic

I could sit around with a hunk of bread and just get stupid.

my ultimate comfort meal is pappardelle with freshly grated parmesan cheese and lots of butter in which garlic has been slowly poached until it is translucent.

a box of cream of wheat
a quart of my best chicken stock in the freezer
a box of PopTarts

...you did say when I'm feeling blah.

Ramen
Eggs and beans
good cheese

I am horribly embarrassed but #1 is Spaghetti-Os with Meatballs. After that, hmmmm?

Ice Cream, but I tend to not keep it on hand because I will eat it all. But a good substitute is my third choice which would be Chocolate Milk.

Cheese!

Apples.

Does tea count?

sharp cheddar, doritos for nachos
cookies
popcorn

I can't keep it on hand, but I love to go to Smoothie King and get a Hazelnut Coffee Smoothie. Or, I'll run and get a Cafe au Lait or Cappucino somewhere. On hand though, I have to have apples, hot cocoa, and Kashi products. Those foods can cheer me up no matter what!

mine are:
1) fried egg on top of rice, with a good shake of soy sauce or hot sauce on top
2) toasted cheese sandwich
3) ginger ale

peanut butter
hummus and pita
Ben and Jerry Karmel Sutra ice cream

*eggs for a fried egg sandwich or poached eggs or egg salad
*milk and coffee for a good cup of Latte (I have that little battery-operated device that foams milk wonderfully)
*kalamata olives (but not jarred or tinned)

Bacon and egg sandwich. Or simply fried or scrambled eggs on whole wheat toast.

Sometimes English muffins with peanut butter.

breakfast foods, ice cream, and stuff to make chocolate chip cookies.

Tomato soup (for grilled cheese and...), yes Campbell's in this case.
Good Earth tea.
Eggs for poaching.

Really old Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese .. something to roll on your tongue
Honey
arborio rice ....... risotto warms my soul

any kind of good, aged cheese
good bread
oatmeal

astarte - rice with fried egg on top and soy sauce is my ultimate too. I had it the last 4 months of my pregnancy with twins

one other is cellophane noodle soup with lots of ginger.
