My favorite is chocolate. I love the Choczero chocolate chips because they are dairy free. That is my go to comfort food, probably way too much! *chocolate has oxalates
I do love pastries, cookies and cakes, but I'm sensitive to most of the ingredients in them, so I generally avoid them, well almost.
I drink decaffeinated herbal tea all day. I sweeten with Sweet Leaf Vanilla Stevia and add Sugar in the Raw Stevia (which has a tad of sugar, but mostly stevia). I don't add milk to my tea, but my husband does.
No alcohol, (sensitive; it burns and wine also has salicylates and mold), but if I did have a beverage, it would be a pina colada and it would be really nice to have a view to go with it.
Chocolate is always great! I drink a lot of tea too, I especially enjoy Earl Grey tea, black tea with cream or milk, mint tea, and butterfly pea tea for it's beautiful blue, or purple color!
That view is gorgeous, and I would love nothing more than to be sipping a Pina Colada on that same exact beach.
So, we live in the same house, but I didn't know the blue tea you were drinking is called butterfly pea tea. My favorite tea is a vanilla flavored tea. The closets I can get to it is a Rooibus tea by Numi. Bigelow used to make a Vanilla-Caramel tea. It was delicious. Now they just make Vanilla Chai.....sigh....
I would like to be at this beach. Right now it's pouring rain and we are under a severe storm watch again. Love the spring in Texas.
Another good for you reason to eat chocolate:

A Brief History of Comfort Food
As we quarantine with macaroni and cheese, meat and potatoes, and other high-calorie comfort foods to ride out the pandemic, let’s pause to give a moment’s thanks to Liza Minnelli. In 1970, the young actress was perhaps the first—and certainly the most glamorous—to coin the modern usage of the now-well-worn phrase, comfort food. “Comfort food is anything you just yum, yum, yum,” she told syndicated newspaper food columnist Johna Blinn, smacking her lips together. She was daydreaming of a hamburger with all the fixins.
