Hooray for Molten Cheese!

I have been fighting a nasty cold, or perhaps back-to-back-to-back colds for nearly a month now. Today, however, I am feeling much better. So much so that I think I am probably over the hump. I've had a few good days, where my symptoms were minimal, except for the cough. But today has been the first day I've realized that I've had hardly anything to eat AND that I'm hungry and actually felt like eating. Until now, I've been munching on crackers and drinking lots of water. But tonight I am feasting. A layer of chips with a sprinkling of shredded cheddar and generously applied jalapeno slices, topped with another layer of chips, cheese, and pepper slices and spices. The cheese was generously heaped on this next layer and from the side, my concoction looked like a cheesy volcano. Popped it into the microwave and started cooking, adding a wee bit of extra time to account for the extra cheese, which has melted down and through the chips to create half-hidden rivers of molten cheese. And now it sits, cooling to a temperature that won't scald my mouth. Comfort food. I love it! Do you turn to comfort food when you're not feeling well? What do you like?
