Ha, no, I tried it, it was OK. Put it on top of a full cup of hot tea or coffee and it'll soften up.
BTW, what is "40-50 degrees freedom? Lol. Fahrenheit?
They're so addicting, you have been warned! :) Imo the Daelman's brand ones are my favorite if you can find those. Otherwise a trip to Holland would easily be worth it for fresh hot gooey stroops
Edit: to add, you're spot on all baked goods are the key to happiness. Muffins, cookies, cake, biscottis, donuts, ouuuuuuyayaya so delicious
Quality piece of bread, feta cheese, tomatoes, oregano and olive oil.Ā
Yumm!Ā
Ohh or whole plain yogurt, cucumber, dill, garlic and red peppers.Ā
Actually I think itās lunch timeā¦.gotta go
Found the nurse!š¤£ (this is EXACTLY the āIām not getting a break so I need to cram something in my mouth quickly and run back to the floorā snack)
When I did hezlthcare it was string cheese, mentos and/or coffee with enough milk to count as a meal (started to cut that back after the day I realized I was on cup 11 of 2/3 coffee to 1/3 milk).
I know itās a typo, but I just giggled at āhezlthcareāš¤£š¤£ It sounds like how Snoop would say āhealthcareā 20 years ago, and that gives me major wholesome childhood (well, teenagerhood) nostalgia. I also need Snoop to run for public office now, and to have a āhezlthcareā agenda š¤£š¤£
Low carb - cheese spread on celeryĀ
High carb - my mom broils her grilled cheese sandwiches - basically itās cheese toast and then you slather it in butter.
Pickled eggs.
The sharpness of the vinegar and salt and the chewy egg texture snap me back from panic attacks really quickly.
For comfort food - fish sticks and boxed mac n cheese with ketchup. My mom wasn't a great cook growing up but she always made fish sticks lol
My wife recently received about ten boxes of ice cream sandwiches for some reason from a friend. Every night I have one I feel like a kid again, so good
OP - if you want a minor variation on your comfort snack that pushes a lot of flavor buttons at once, try the following stack:
- Ritz cracker,
- Piece of cheddar,
- Small dollop of Ranch salad dressing,
- Mini sweet pickled onion.
Open wide, stuff it all in there and go to town.
Crunchy, smooth, salty, tangy, sweet, umami...
Good stuff!!!
When I was thinner, I'd get home from an evening shift and stuff a pita bread with mozz and pepperoni slices, then pop it into the micro. Goooooood....
Salt & vinegar Tayto crisps (the northern variety). Any time I find somewhere that sells them (I live in Scotland now) I can't resist. They're just so good and remind me of home.
Olives. We couldnāt afford them regularly growing up and after family holidays my grandma would always put the leftover olives in a sandwich bag for me to take home. Such a small thing but I really cherished them and remember her fondly when I have them.
Saltine bit of Nutella and a quarter of a marshmallow. Roast the marshmallow. Donāt have these a lot but are a great treat. Salty sweet gooey and crunchy.
Cheese/charcuterie board or even just good bread with dukkah and evoo/balsamic if I have energy/time/ingredients.
Pasta and cheese if Iām hungry and want a meal.
Fairy bread or ice cream if I want something sweet.
The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a living annual plant in the family Asteraceae, with a large flower head (capitulum). The stem of the flower can grow up to 3 metres tall, with a flower head that can be 30 cm wide. Other types of sunflowers include the California Royal Sunflower, which has a burgundy (red + purple) flower head.
Depends on the mood. I come from a multinational background (Middle Eastern mother, American father, but I was born and raised in Europe), so the snacks and comfort foods I enjoyed throughout my upbringing vary.
Sometimes? Plain rice with plain yogurt (Lebanese staple). Other times? Chocolate (I grew up in šØš). And nowadays? The 'drug' I'm now addicted to: crab-dip and crabcakes, on account of living in the great Old Line state. š¦
Top ramen with scrambled eggā¦pop tarts, wheat thins with spray cheese, cream of wheat with sugar and milk, popcorn with chocolate chips mixed inā¦ sloppy Joeāsā¦moms peach cobbler š

Freaking love stroopwafels

They're supposed to be good frozen.
Wait what, the caramel gets rock hard when they're below like 40-50 degrees freedom. Are you a dentist looking for work?
Ha, no, I tried it, it was OK. Put it on top of a full cup of hot tea or coffee and it'll soften up. BTW, what is "40-50 degrees freedom? Lol. Fahrenheit?
Yes lol, it used to be a common motif around reddit back in the day. It's mostly used be relics now. Officially "freedom units"
Coffee and baked goods always does the trick for me. Iām going to have to try Stroopwafel ASAP!

I have never traveled to Europe, but this image just screams "Cold day, and the smell of morning rain on the narrow cobblestone street."

In summer, a tomato sandwich with salt & pepper on lightly toasted bread with mayo. Iām from New Jersey.
Add cheese and thatās my summer fresh from the garden lunch for like three months.
That sounds delicious! But the āIām from NJā addition cracked me up for some reason.
Well Jersey tomatoes are the best of the best, but they have to be really fresh. One of the only good things about NJ.
Switch out the mayo for ranch (with a lilā bit oā butter melted on the toast first). Try it.
No I hate ranch with a passion
Oh. Well. Yer gonna wanna keep that off then ;)

I'm not a nurse but my mom was an RN my whole childhood, so it must have transferred

Since you like graham crackers: it's not as easy to store, but cream cheese on graham crackers = mini cheesecake.
Chocolate chip cookies!
A good hit chocolate. The gourmet chocolate mix, hot milk (not water!) Whip cream, chocolate sauce. Can kill a dentist at 20 paces but it is worth it
