I like salmon in my mac and cheese.

Mmm, I love salmon (had it the other day), and am a HUGE bread pudding fan! Enjoy them, Fuzzybear!

My comfort foods kind of vary since I like many things. Lately mine have been spoonfuls of lowered fat peanut better, or cinnamon toast. My ultimate comfort food is a vanilla cream filled donut (like a Long John) dusted in confectioner's sugar. They're about the worst things one can eat, but so delicious! Generally, I love all kinds of cake-type stuff. I also like oatmeal raisin cookies and Linzer tart cookies. As for other stuff, an occasional grilled cheese with tomato sandwich is lovely. If I was on death row, my last meal would be a box of the vanilla cream filled donuts. Specifically ones from a particular store near me. Not the crappy ones from Dunkin Donuts.

I have a couple things that I now totally avoid because they are dangerous for me. One is a cookie called Lu Pim's Orange European biscuit cookies. I can eat the whole box in one sitting. I also avoid hard pretzels, particularly thicker ones. I confess that the other day I did buy a soft pretzel, and it was wonderful, but they are only available in certain stores. I had to make a special trip for it, and I ate the sucker while I was driving, forgoing the mustard I usually like with them. That would be messy! I only occasionally buy a bagel with cream cheese. The bagels are outstanding in my area. Real bagel shops!

I don't have any particular "comfort food," but I do really enjoy Indian dishes. I find curries to be very flavorful, filling, nutritious, and healthy (well, depending on which type of curry...).

Whenever I'm not feeling well, I ask my mom to eat Indian food with me. Indian is her favorite cuisine too, so she never says no to that.

I don't know why it took so many years for me to try Indian food, but I'm glad I finally did try it. I highly recommend people to try it if they haven't already, especially if you're vegetarian because there are so many vegetarian options with curries. It's VERY vegetarian friendly. I wish I could eat it all day; that's how much I love it.

I do not do indian desserts, though. Just not a fan of the fried ball things that are soaked in syrup, or the watery rice pudding. I also don't do mango pudding or mango ice cream. So, I just stick with the curries and breads.

I just had a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. Anybody else dip yours in ketchup? Everyone thinks I'm weird for doing it, but then again, people eat tomato soup with grilled cheese so...?

I strongly dislike ketchup, but my sister is addicted to it. If people think you're weird for dipping a sandwich into ketchup, let me tell you... my sister used to mix ketchup into her mac & cheese, into her tacos, and on corn. I would say that sandwich with ketchup is nowhere near as bad as that.

Edit: she also used to pour ketchup onto salads. I think that is beyond gross, but whatever floats her boat

That's funny! I was just talking with my dad on the phone today and I mentioned how he used to stir ketchup into his mac and cheese - it would turn the macaroni pink!

Personally I love Mexican food. Cheese enchiladas, chicken flautas, guacamole, sour cream, chiles rellenos, rice & beans... Better stop. I'm getting hungry.
