Sometimes much pleasure can be found in the simple things in life.. I think this is sometimes due to sounds/tastes triggering good memories from when we were young.[/quote]
Chili. I used to ski a lot when I was young and chili was filling, warm and pretty cheap (especially if you got a *lot* of saltines). It still makes me happy. Also, and probably nobody here has had one, but cornish pasties (these are meat pies, not adhesive items . . . ). We used to visit family in the upper peninsula of Michigan during the summer and pasties were always made. Although not as good as homemade, they send them frozen anywhere in the US from http://www.pasty.com 🙂
