We had that just last week at home, yum. Your goulash sounds like one of my favorites, hamburger stew, except instead of macaroni, I put in a bag frozen mixed vegetables and a can of creamed corn. My ex was okay with it until the addition of the creamed corn which gives it a slightly sweet flavor. This is only thing creamed corn is ever used for. But that’s how my Mom always made it. This started when I was older, but it’s even better with a couple of slices of fried Spam. Not cut up or cubed, just sliced into slabs. The saltiness counters the slight sweetness of the stew perfectly. ---

Fluffernutter. 😉 I still eat one a few times a year. A very guilty pleasure. ---

A mustard sandwich, made with really soft bread, like Wonder bread. Eat the crust off. Smash the sandwich flat and tear it into strips. Peel them apart and eat. Yes, I still do this every once in awhile. I have the soft white bread right now for the all-important leftover turkey sandwiches, so a mustard sandwich just might make an appearance this weekend. ---

Applesauce and cottage cheese (preferably large curd). I still eat this if I’m having dental or stomach problems. ---
