Comfort Food

I do have a comfort food. Not just one comfort food though. I have different comfort food for different moments. Depending on the weather and what season it is changes my comfort food. During sports and activities my comfort food changes as well.

Although my comfort food varies depending on certain factors there is one food that seems to always give me comfort. My grandma’s homemade rice and beans always makes me feel good. Coming from a Spanish family almost all Spanish food made by my grandparents gives me a warm feeling on the inside. I love all of the food they make. I eat this food the most during the holiday season so I guess it could be considered my comfort food around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Around Thanksgiving and Christmas I also enjoy cookies. Not just any cookies but the cookies with the reindeer on them. They are sugar cookies that come in one big roll of dough that you have to cut up into slices of to make them cookies. They are by far the best store bought cookies I’ve ever had. They give me a warm feeling on the inside. They are the best when I eat them with a nice mug of hot chocolate and marshmallows. It is almost perfection.

A little during and after the holiday season is wrestling season. During wrestling I cannot eat a lot. I have to eat healthy and eat the normal portions a human is supposed to consume. Basically no unhealthy food is to be consumed, which in most cases in comfort food. Although I cannot eat junk I treat myself to one little treat. I always have Swedish fish with me during wrestling. They make me feel good and taste great, unlike some of my food. They give me the energy I need and all around just make me feel good.

After Wrestling season is over every thing that is edible is my comfort food. I eat until I become sick. Then summer hits. During the summer I am always running around but I would say my summertime comfort food is sushi. It is crafted so well and has such a magnificent taste. I eat it a lot during summer. It reliefs all the stresses of work and anything else I have going on. It is comforting because of its unique taste. It is different then anything else I have ever tasted. So many options and tastes to experience. It warms me to just think about it.

I think my comforts are what they are because one day they just stuck. I tried this food and something in my head clicked and it made me feel good. Ever since those moments these foods have been my comfort food. Ever since I was very young my grandma was feeding me rice and beans everyday. Now that I am older I do not see her as much so I do not get to eat her rice and beans as much. This is why I want it so much and when I get it I think of my young childhood. It brings me back to when I was really young and just gives me a warm comforting feeling.
