What's your poison?

[MedievalMadness]

While waiting it out, what are you folks drinking/eating through all the stress and anxiety?

Personally, I've been drinking a lot of smoked stout and eating more than my usual share of pupusas. I'm surprised I haven't gained any weight yet.

[Kamisha]

I just ate two donuts. I’m not proud of myself. 

[doingthings]

Sweet potato chips. I don't think I'll survive without them.

[bgguitarist]

Bourbon and sea salt and vinegar chips. 

[mikers86]

I'm smoking a Boston butt right now, drinking my fair share of wine, and baking a chocolate blackout cake.

[shortstack51]

I've been eating bacon and honey pretzel twists

[MrBrooklyn]

Great Divide Oak Aged yeti and homemade tonkotsu ramen.

[Mattie Roh]

More coffee than usual. Baked goods. I plan to give up Coca Cola for Lent (not because I'm religious or anything but to prove it doesn't own me). This may end up being a mistake.

[VirginianFeminist]

Red wine (Rioja Crianza) is my current poison. 

[toasterazzi]

Whiskey.

[MedievalMadness]

Whiskey.

Winner for most hardcore goes to toasterazzi.

[VirginianFeminist]

Whiskey.

 

Any particular kind? Rye, bourbon, blended, malt....American, Irish, Scotch, Canadian?  

[toasterazzi]

I've tried various types, but I typically stick with Jack Daniel's, especially Gentleman Jack.

 

 

 

 

I should also mention that hot wings are my life force. Also bacon.

Protip: if you aren't a whiskey person yet, grad school will probably make you one. I went from a white wine to a Black Label girl in 6 months. Not that I'm complaining.

[ArthChauc]

Mead. Went on a mead tour in Denver and have been sold since. Beyond that, St. Germaine and cognac.

I'm also eating a lot of meat and potatoes. Mmm...

[Ozymandias Melancholia]

512 IPA or Sculpin.

I went to the store to buy mascara and came out with two bags each of Dove white chocolate and Starburst jelly beans and a family size bag of Twizzlers...I have a problem lol

As for alcohol, I've been sticking with Blue Moon because it's delicious.

[Tweedledumb2]

Wine. So much wine.

[WendyWonderland]

Coca Cola, pizza, chicken wings and chocolate. Now the torturing period is over, I would like to go back normal.

[iExcelAtMicrosoftPuns]

Banana daiquiri.

[DyslexicBibliophile]

Mostly ice cream, though unfortunately I don't seem to have any in my apartment right now. I plan to buy a few pints in preparation for Monday's bloodbath.

 

Also: whatever liquor is in the house (at the moment red wine or angry orchard) and lots of fried food or pizza.

Coffee when I'm working. I've been ill, so I've taken it easy on the alcoholic beverages lately, but I'm slowly easing back into my evening wine habit. As far as eating, I am not big on sweets, very big on flavor. Anything with chipotle tabasco will do. Lately I've been into the caramelized veg flavor; I've been roasting cauliflower "popcorn" in the oven. Many nights (like tonight), I just roast an entire head and call it dinner. Kale chips, too. And I finally learned how to make mjedra, one of my favorite dishes at a local Lebanese restaurant that I can't really afford anymore, so we've had that fairly often lately. You basically cook sliced onions until they are so caramelized that they look like melty chocolate, stir them into lentils, add stock, and cook. The caramelized onion flavor pervades the entire dish; it's amazing.

 

Oh, and we have tons of leftover Nyakers pepperkakor gingerbread cookies from the holidays. I make tea (always PG tips) and have a couple of those when I need comfort food. Basically I believe that the AM/PM system should be abolished and the hours of the day broken up instead into "coffee," "wine," and "tea."

WOW You are making me SO HUNGRY right now. Those kale chips and carmelized veggies sound amazing.

mmm, pupusas...i actually have lost weight because i've been too nervous to eat or sleep...at least that was until today when the news from stanford came out. since then pizza (hello little ceasar's crazy bread), double stuf oreos (literal poison), i have donuts waiting for me, and vodka. making up for lost time I guess.
