First Snowfall

[abracanabra]

In honor of the first snowfall, I am wearing my new Victoria's Secret panties with sparkly snowflakes all over them.

I encourage you all to do something slightly whimsical to celebrate--and tell me about it.

I had a pumpkin cream cheese muffin with my chai during my weekly coffee with my father. It was tasty and had a whole grain topping to it.

I find it interesting how many people have particular food-associations with comfort and celebration in winter especially. I suppose it makes sense: the urge to hibernate.

I have more specific food-associations with wintertime (pigs in a blanket!!), also music and clothing, but I wanted to try something new, and the muffin looked good.

But, you're right. I'm guilty.

It's not a guilty thing! :P

But...pigs in a blanket? That's one I never would have thought of.

Piggies.

I only get them at Christmastime, and I love them. See also: date nut roll, lemon bread and ginger ale.

I was just referring to the fact that using food as a comforting thing isn't a good thing, but I do do it.

using food as a comforting thing isn't a good thing

I think it depends on the extent and amount that one does it, like most things in life. A pan of brownies is a bad thing, but one brownie to celebrate a job well done is a good thing.

I agree with you, but I've been told that even one brownie sets a bad precedent.

I'm sayin'.

Though, my body bears the traces of much "comfort food".

"Comfort food," I kind of have a problem with. "Celebration food," I don't. I guess that's because it's a lot easier to go overboard with comfort food--with celebration food, you're already feeling good.
