> Comfort food means different things to me depending on what my mood is like. Baby comfort food for me when I'm feeling tired is cream of wheat made with milk, not water, & liberally sweetened with brown sugar & evaporated milk drizzled over it.

Iso, that's not wierd. It's healthy! I'll bet you don't have any weight problems.I aim to swap one comfort food (potatoes) for another healthier solution, lentil vegetable soup.
My mother always made it for me when I was a child and whenever I eat it now I get that same sense of being nurtured and cared for...Comfort foods can be healthy too.
