Oh man so many things make me feel better. Can't go wrong with pizza, but then mac and cheese will do the trick to. BUT then again a chicken caesar salad could do it. ER.....Toasted garlic bread with mounds of cheese melted on top and pizza sauce to dip it in. Also bacon and eggs. lol.

Homemade caldo de pollo

oranges

a cheeseburger, fries, and a beer.

If it's stress then it's pizza or ice cream.

If it's blahness then it's soup or something cozy like mashed potatoes.

A gyro and domades.

ummmm........ A grilled cheese sandwich : )

@Pavlov I was about to say the same thing ;-) also homemade baked mac and cheese thats just gooey with cheese and real cream.

any food prepared by my mother, it always tastes better than anything i can make and it always makes me feel loved.

Spaghettini with butter, Pecorino Romano and lots of black pepper.

Pancakes, or sushi, depending on whether I would like savory or sweet. :)

Big bowl of creamy lemon risotto - and the process of cooking it while drinking the white wine that goes into it.

a well made cup of coffee

I don't know...last night some cheese ravioli made me feel better. It made me feel so much better that I made myself a second portion. And that made me feel worse.

@cyberroo I like Lipton noodle soup too only I eat it with Town House crackers spread with port salut.

mass quantities of home-made tapioca pudding, made with milk.

@pavlov & huneybumper: our dirty minds think alike-lol.

outside of the gutter tho-i'd say that fried chicken makes me pretty happy too.

My biggest one, and I've said this before on here: shell pasta with salt, pepper, and grated cheddar. Yeah it's mac and cheese, but with shells not elbows and the way the cheese gets all stringy and melty is so comforting.

red meat and brown whiskey.

Teuscher champagne truffles

It's so sad, but for me a cheese Totino's Party Pizza does the trick every time. I have such low tastes...

kettle cooked potato chips (or ridged) probably with dip. 2nd would be potstickers. 3rd would be spanikopita

A really good cookie.

i put together a cheese platter: freshly sliced baguette, either a surface-ripened or soft-ripened cheese and a semi-hard or hard cheese for bite, berries for vitamins (anti-guilt), and nuts, like blanched almonds, and maybe some local honey for maximum drizzlage over the oozy cheese. And, of course a good wine (there's the real cheerer-upper).

Even if I'm alone, it's like I'm having a little party and that makes me happy!

bread - any kind; pretzels (usually, no salt for health reasons, though the salty kind taste better), nuts - any kind, but usually almonds.

chinese delivery--steamed dumplings and veggie moo shu.

Beer or wine.

@lemonfair Spanakopita for me too!

Also egg noodles with butter and salt, Italian bread with butter or roasted garlic, rice pudding, peanut butter and honey on toast, strawberries sliced and tossed with a little sugar, or Dannon coffee yogurt (there can be only one).

anything with cheese (mac and cheese, cheeseburger, cheese and crusty bread...), hearty italian american comfort foods, salty foods, chocolate..... and pretty much anything that is bad for me

Raspberry-rhubarb pie, a damn good roast chicken (btw, beer can chicken on the grill is amazing) cheese and crackers, Asian pears, smores! lobster stew, buffalo chicken wings, chili nachos, ooooh, and a great crock of french onion soup with the special bowl, and the melted cheese that gets crusty on the sides...oh boy.

Mousake mmmmmmmmmmm!

Violetcassis - sushi and coffee together? Hmm...very interesting. My comfort food changes every couple of months (for the longest time, it was homemade fried rice), but any kind of pasta is the standby. Well, any form of carbs, really.

a dozen raw oysters and a budweiser

cheese, bread and umm, pizza!

Wonton Soup from Little Phoenix, in Catonsville, MD; good cheese - usually brie, but on a day that's just shy of actually catastrophic I'm willing to be adventurous - with a baguette; or in case of real emergencies, Doritoes dipped in sour cream. Fondue is also an instant mood improver. and nectarines. and Rice Crispy Treats. How long is this list allowed to get?

My mother's matzoh ball soup. I make my own kick ass soup, but the minute I feel punky, I am on the phone calling my mom begging.

mac and cheese. from the box. my ultimate comfort food.

I'm not sure what the official name for it is, but my Italian grandmother used to make this dish that was kind of like a peperoni roll, but it was flat with 5 or six layers and used pizza dough as the bread. She would make her own tomato sauce and sausage for it. When I was little, I would help her roll out the huge sheet of dough on her dining room table. It was so good, and she would make huge batches so we would have plenty of leftovers.

A fried egg sandwich.

a really good loaf of bread or fruit.

i agree...carbs. any and all.
