MedievalMadness Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 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.

Mattie Roh Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 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.

toasterazzi Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedandbemused Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 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. hmd, toasterazzi, doingthings and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthChauc Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 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... toasterazzi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DyslexicBibliophile Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 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.

mmorrison Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyctophile Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 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. 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.
