My go to comfort foods are usually buttered pasta and pudding, but I can eat waaaaaay too much of either of those.

Another very calming drink is as follows: hot milk with a little sugar, vanilla, and brandy. It may be the most calming thing one can drink and will put you to sleep if you need the help. (For teetotalers, hot milk with honey in it is also good.)


Buttered pasta? Are you 5?

Essentially this is what I'm doing. I'm not watching or reading the news. We watched the Great British Baking Show (sweet dough!) and I'm going to bed soon. I can't relive the experience of watching the NYT needle on this night in 2016.

No CBD for me but I'm going to dose myself with Mothewort before I go to bed.

With sufficient salt.

I also like to drink cups of plain broth.

Nope - no desire to talk politics - just eating habits. I like the popcorn idea. Any others?


Whatever is easy to snack on while at your computer working on your resume, because you clearly need a job.
