Have some nutella, it helps.

Just ask hungryghost.

Nutella, one of the more bizarre looking things I've seen at the supermarket. I like the hazelnut liquor Frangelico, so I think I should like the hazelnut Nutella. Every time I hear the name Nutella, I feel like I should be trading files on the Linux box with Gnutella.

I'll get it all straightened out someday.

When I was much younger and the anxiety/panic would hit, I'd do what I'd call a "hard reset" of my brain by drinking a 12-pack of these. There can be health issues or dependency problems with that, however.

Issues like anxiety/panic/life-is-a-mess seem to be life-long. I thought I'd grow out of them eventually, but I see my nearly 80 year old mother still having these issues, too. I think you just have to develop an arsenal of coping strategies to get by and use whatever works at the moment.

If Nutella provides comfort for some, that would be the one to use at that moment!

Because of this thread, I got my first jar of Nutella today. I haven't sampled it yet.

Here's visual verification of it.

Would you like for me to recommend a red wine to accompany it?

I'd recommend a Spanish wine - since I always think nutella should be eaten on a patio, in the sunshine!

By yooperprof, # 26. March 2008, 11:04:48

oh yeah, anxiety, panic. Know those well!

Mmm.. nutella doesn`t really help, after some months you are same as panicky and anxious but with 8 kilos more, believe me...

I tried Nutella...I tried to enjoy it... to no avail!

By angel292005, # 26. March 2008, 12:24:46

I still have tried my Nutella yet. It's queued up for consumption after we finish the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

My cholesterol has to be triple my IQ.

mm, I`m not so crazy about it, prefer dark chocolate.....aggghhh (drooling like Homer )

By yomeriux, # 27. March 2008, 03:09:38

me too, chocoholic...and I also don`t love Nutella...there are many more better than that

By yomeriux, # 27. March 2008, 12:25:50

Mmmm.. any dark chocolate makes me very happy

Laso hot chocolate, we have one in Mexico that is mixed with cinamon and it is SO good.

I don`t really love milk chocolate, and white chocolate

By yomeriux, # 28. March 2008, 02:26:23

I mean ALSO hot chocolate

mmm, with chili? well, he have something called MOLE in MExico, is like a thick paste that is salty and sweet, made with chocolate, some nuts, and lots of different kinds of chile. You serve it on chicken mainly. It sounds very weird but it`s DELICIOUS!!!

But you mean hot chocolate with chili?? no, I haven`t!! it must be good

thunder, you don`t have hot chocolate as a beberage?? mmm..pudding...and what about chocolate mousse

haha slack, yeah! I`m a big mole fan too, it`s one of the things that I miss the most from there. Have you tried mole enchiladas? with cheese on top, chicken inside? a bit of onion and cream? mmmmmmm....(drooling)

But yeah, it can be a bit heavy too, but you get used to it with time

By yomeriux, # 29. March 2008, 14:23:29

Hey,

Yes, the enchiladas you describe are perfect, and there are some Mexican restaurants in the area that make them superbly. The chopped fresh onions are a perfect contrast to the light sweetness of the mole sauce.

Whenever I have a mole dish, I feel like I'm reaching back into Mexico's history. Their cuisine is so fine, and their television ain't bad either. I'm also a fan of old black and white movies from there from the época de oro del cine mexicano.

There's a lot to like!

By slackwrdave, # 29. March 2008, 15:00:25

Slack, Mole was created in the colonial times of Mexico, so yeah, it`s an old dish (it has prehispanic roots too). You have to try Mexican food from the south of Mexico, from Yucatan. To me, it is the best food in all Mexico.

ABout the cinema from the golden era, there are such greta movies!! sometimes I watch them when I can`t sleep..some of them are so funny. Have you seen movies with Joaquin Pardave?

I`m very glad that you like Mexico, I love it too. It has its problems but it`s a great country.

By yomeriux, # 29. March 2008, 17:50:23

By slackwrdave, # 29. March 2008, 21:41:22

you are right!

Joaquin Pardave is a fat guy that appears in some movies along with Sara Garcia (you have to see her!!). He is sooo funny. Have you ever watched "Los tres Garcia" movies?? those are some of the best I think.

You saw Hello Dolly? I remember when it was playing, many many years ago. They are great actors both, I love Ignacio Lopez Tarso, he is such a great actor!

I didn't see Dracula!! I had no idea that they were both being filmed at the same time! that's crazy!! But I did watch some other horror movies, one with German Robles as a vampire witch was very good as well.

And what about El Santo movies?? Those made me laugh so much (thought that's not from the Golden era anymore, but it's so funny)

Wow, you are really a fan!
