So it’s Wednesday – that point in the week where you can see just about see Saturday approaching but feel the vice-like grip of Monday still very tightly wrapped around your feet.
With this in mind, I thought I’d start the Humpday Positive Mindset post … where basically I ask a rubbish question and you let your mind go on a holiday from corporate life by responding with answers that reflect positive feelings/memories and emotions.
To start off I’d like to know what is your most comforting of all comfort food.
I want to you to tell me what concoction is your mouth and stomachs best friend … why that’s the case and how it makes you feel.
Right, to get things rolling, I’ll start …
Without doubt for me, a bowl of plan pasta, coated in some melted butter with salt and some cheese on top makes me go weak at the knees.
I know it’s oh-so-plain … but that dish makes me feel totally contented.
It’s not that it gives me a blanket of warmth if I’m feeling down – though it has that effect as well – it’s the fact that I feel in a really good place when I’m eating it.
All the stuff that can pre-occupy me just buggers off, leaving me to appreciate where I’m at and what I have – not in terms of what I own, but in relation to the people I have in my life.
Mad isn’t it … a bowl of plain pasta has meditation type benefits.
Now I must admit I don’t know why this food has such an effect on me but I am assuming it has something to do with my Mum being Italian and that it stirs up memories of the odd school lunchtime where I’d come home and eat a bowl with her while chatting about what I’d done that morning.
Precious, wonderful times which you don’t realise until decades later.
So come on, what’s your edible happiness? And no rude things thank you very much – today we’re in ‘Sesame Street’ mode 🙂
