Potato Chips, Chicken McNuggets, and Mac'n'Cheese -- What are Your Favorite Comfort Foods and Routines?

[TheIndianGirl]

Sometimes I like ginger in my tea
But, please tell me more about curried tuna!

It looks something like this. Tuna salad is good but this another way I eat canned tuna.

I use a lot of these spices, but haven't used fennel, fennugreek, or curry leaves in mine.

also, I realised that the Nanny tv show was mostly about the zany outfits Fran Drescher wore
in real life, a nanny cannot afford to dress like that...lol

sometimes need predictable candy floss with pseudo happy endings, which is pretty much what any Danielle Steel novel promises.

I used to read Gone with the Wind over and over and watch the movie too, as it was long and the costumes were like...what is Scarlett wearing now?

Or Friends

another chick flick that I actually watched again last night was a reboot of Sex and the city called 'And just like that'. I think a lot watch it for the costumes cos Carrie is always in a different outfit looking fab or unusual even when shes being totally self centred and dramatic over her terrible relarionship with Mr Big.

You'll be like..what, he was horrible to you Carrie! But your dress sense is amazing like a woman playing dressups all the time. Tell me you didnt marry him just because he offered you a huge walk in wardrobe.

I used to read a lot, and at one time a lovely lady at work and I agreed to swap books. I loaned her a dramatized historical fiction set during the American civil war. She loaned me Thurston House. By page 6 (if not sooner), I was disgusted with it. So not my style of literature! Ha ha, some would say, not even literature, but trash. She became quite wealthy writing such trash. I never would have finished reading that book but for the respect I held for my co-worker, despite her taste in fiction. Trashy TV is a different story altogether

Jook

or rice porridge...its a chinese thing
it doesnt go well with cheese or potato chips, but is very satisfying

When I was very young, 3 or 4 maybe, we lived on base in N Carolina next door to a Chinese lady who made rice pudding all the time. My parents couldn't keep me away from her house lol

All TV is trashy! Lol

Oooohhh... All I need is coconut oil! I'm trying this tonight with rice

Pretty much these days, yeah... sign of the times. Although ME TV runs some of the older shows in syndication. Many of them are just very dated. So much has changed, including production values and even acting modes. For instance, my daughter has not been a fan of a lot of older movies and shows due to the over-emoting. So much can be communicated much more subtly than many older style offerings. She did like Friends, so we watched a lot of that together I have lived the majority of my adult life TV free, but I have Netflix

I know people who watch ME TV. I don't think I could. Hogan's Heroes, Andy Griffith, Happy Days, Gilligan's Island? No thanks

I gave up on NetFlix 2yrs ago, and cable 15yrs ago! Tubi is pretty cool, lots of Westerns, Classics, and Oldies, interspersed with a bunch of modern stuff. Even has Documentary and Faith categories. Since I have my computer plugged into my TV, it works well for me

 

[Lanolin]

I have near come to the end of netflix
But the last thing I watched on it was the mystery of Marilyn Monroe
People suspect the Kennedy brothers bumped her off, but since they've been killed off too its likely we'll never really know how she died, apart from it being an overdose.

Not exactly comfort tv, but tv from the comfort of your couch is easier than paying $17 to go out and see a movie.

 

[Hazelelponi]

I like action and adventure in my books. I've read all of Clancy, much of Patterson (though that sometimes gets too dark for me), Iris Johansen (the series with Eve Duncan) all the Reacher novels by Child - literally all - etc etc etc.

I reached the end of a small town library once, only skipping the romance section... Lol.

You know how you say to yourself, "I'm just going to go to Walmart and pick up one thing...," but you wind up coming home with $100 worth of stuff you didn't need? Well, I had pizza rolls for dinner last night lol. I didn't forget to coconut oil though. I'll post a picture tonight

I watched that also. There was a lot of mob involvement with the unions fighting Bobby as attorney general, and paranoia around communisms was at an all time high then, also. I enjoyed the, um, was it a docu-series? Four episodes, yeah, I enjoyed it. I love Marilyn Monroe as an actress. I used her face in one of my panels Did you watch the one on Bobby? He was an amazing guy Oh, the Marilyn one was a documentary, one hour and forty one minutes long. It was the Bobby one that was four episodes. I recommend it

[Robertt]

oh no I didnt see that
I dont quite understand the mystique surrounding the president and his brother, or the mob connections
I saw the one about Jackie and her sister

They really seem to be in their own little worlds even though that family was running the entire country for a few years, but then I suppose when you get to the top nothing is as it seems.

I think Marilyn really struggled with being stereotyped as an actress but she had become a victim of her own success it seems. The shelf life of an actress is very short in Hollywood

I never in a million years would have thought to lightly crisp fry canned tuna in coconut oil...
The smell while it was cooking was amazing! It's DELICIOUS

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back
All those words
That have hurt you
And you'd stay

 

[I_am_Canadian]

For stress I recommend a double bacon cheeseburger.

It's a game we play regularly...

If you can go into Walmart and get out with spending less than $100 you win.

There's been times I lost...but mostly because I knew ahead I was going to be spending a lot of money with bigger ticket items.

It comes in slow and goes out quick.
