FOOD smile and act nice: Comfortb> Food

The best comfortb> foods for me have a considerable amount of chocolate in them: chocolate cake with mocha frosting on top and white butter cream frosting in the middle, chocolate chip cookies, Grandma Dolly's chocolate oatmeal cookies, brownies and Hershey bars.
Foods that don't contain chocolate but still qualify are: caramel apples, anything with homemade gravy on it and real mashed potatoes.
Sick food is whatever your mother (or caregiver) gave you when you were ill. My mom gave me homemade chicken soup and Jell-O. The Jell-O had to be red.
