RE: ebraun
Aww ((Supportive hugs))...
Strange how food and grief go hand in hand...I mean that goes wayyyy back... I guess it's a way to comfort ourselves in our own hour of need. My grandma made GREAT fried green tomatoes and to this day I wish I'd gotten her recipe. :(

Unfortunately I've had a lot of experience with this lately. When I lost my mom last month I think we all ate our own weight in smoked brisket, potato salad and washed it down with Shiner beers and Lone Star. Seemed to fit the bill. My mom made great fried green tomatoes, always fried in bacon fat. That's going to get made before too long on one of my inevitable bad days.

When I'm really down I opt for the quickest food fix I can find...I don't crave sweets though (even when I'm pretty sad) so I'd probably opt for some pasta with just butter, ground pepper and parmesan cheese with a bit of kosher salt and crumbled dry basil. Then, the next day I have a pasta hangover and regret the whole thing...yeah, cuz I ate the whole darned pot. ARGH! ;)

Comfort foods: chocolate, mac 'n cheese, pastel de choclo, instant noodles with rendang flavour, surinam food in general, whole wheat bread with cold pasta sauce (I know, disgusting). Basically, I love to eat ^_^
Sad Foods: What do you eat in times of trouble?
When I'm upset I don't eat. But my comfort foods are:
mac n' cheese
Vietnamese rice porridge - chicken or beef
grilled cheese - with the fake cheese singles (so bad!)
banana bread
and just about anything mom makes :)

I'm with Tiki that sometimes the act of preparing it is enough, no matter what it is. I'm currently low carbing it, so most of my comfort food are off limits. But losing myself in the chopping and stirring a pot of chilli helped a lot last night.
And when I'm eating carbs and I have a bad day, I reach for grilled cheese, mom's lasagna, or a big brownie.

Unfortunately, if I am really sad, stressed, or depressed I lose my appetite.
My comfort foods when I'm having a bad day are anything with cheese, garlic, and/or mushrooms or soup with good bread.

When I am sad or stressed out I go to Fairway Supermarkets in Harlem (free parking! already feeling better) and buy a Baguette, 1/4 pound of Serrano Ham, some olives, pesto sauce and some manchego cheese. I make a sandwich with all that and have the whole thing by myself! I am so full afterward that I fall sleep for a good couple of hours; I almost always feel better equipped to deal with whatever it is bothering me after I wake up.

These comments aren't quite enough to make me WANT to be sad, but i'm definitely having a girly night in tomorrow, and I'll keep them in mind when shopping!
