comfort foods

I wish I had something interesting to say, but I don't. That's the main reason I haven't updated my blog in a month. The other reason is that it is generally too cold in the computer room to want to be in here for long. True, I am here now, and I remembered my password to the blog tonight, so here I am. But with nothing much to say. I am nauseated and have been for almost two weeks, and am tired and just am going to whine for awhile. But I'll stop now.

I finished reading another Jan Karon novel, a Christmas one this time (and the next one in the series - how's that for planning, eh?). They are nice books, about nice people who have real doubts and fears and struggles, and they always make me feel good. I would not say that they are meat and potato books, but they are not brain candy books either. They are more like comfort food for the soul. Dare I say chicken soup? No, I don't, mostly because that is not my comfort food. But they aren't all sweet and overly carbohydratey, either, which is generally what my comfort food is, so maybe they are like chicken soup.

So what is your comfort food these days? And (big question) are you allowed to eat it?
