Comfort food
I've had a bad couple of days - when I say bad, I mean "bad, as in, burrow your head in the pillows and not come up for a week or three". Yeah - the no good, awful, why-did-I-even-bother sort of experience.
At the end of my first horrible day, I made some instant Rice Noodles (Thai Kitchen brand - mushroom flavor). Serious comfort food there.
Today, in the midst of another no-good-for-nothing, awful day, I ducked out of the office and went two doors down to a small Chinese restaurant for a steaming bowl of Udon noodles. They were very satisfying, made me feel like my chest could start to clear up - just from the steam emanating from the container, and again, it was incredible comfort food - right when I needed it.
It's interesting how tastes can change. I used to look at comfort food as being meatloaf and mashers, or turkey and mashers. Now, it's a bowl of Udon or any other Asian noodle soup. (Eaten with chopsticks, of course. It's the California thing to do ... or so I've been told.)
