Girl Talk Thursday is a weekly event run by Maria of Mommy Melee.  This week, we’re discussing our turn ons.  So, if you’re my family, and especially if you’re my little brother, you might not want to read this.  In fact, if you’re my father-in-law, it’d be super awesome if you’d close the browser and come back tomorrow.  I’m just sayin’!

I was not planning on participating, but then I found out I won a $25 gift certificate to EdenFantasys from prior participation in GTT!  So I started browsing to see what I could put my money toward, and all the sudden my mind is in the bedroom, thinking about how interesting this or that item would make things, and well… hey, as it happens, that’s kind of a turn-on!  Who knew.

Seeing my husband all dressed up is another one.  He’s gotten on dress slacks, a button-down shirt, and a tie a few times lately, and if he didn’t have to leave the house I tell you what, I’d probably jump his bones.

Oh, and I’ve been reminded: man smell.  Yes, even stinky man smell.  I love manliness.  Chest hair, muscles, sweat… don’t give me some clean-shaven, skinny little preppy dude, I’m NOT interested!

Alcoholic beverages.  I am a very affectionate drunk.

Flirting… with dudes or chicks.  I’m not gonna lie!

Edit: Pitting cherries with my bare hands.  Something about the dark red juice staining my skin and pulling the flesh apart with my fingers is kinda sexy.

What about you?

So what is my comfort food?

If I have five minutes — peanut butter & jelly.  There’s just something innately comforting about a PBJ sammich, probably since I ate many of them as a child.  I’m big on lots of chunky peanut butter and just a thin layer of jelly/jam, or even playing around and substituting bananas or apples for the jelly.  Yummm!

If I have half an hour — risotto.  The long, labour-intensive process of cooking risotto and ending up with a beautiful, creamy dish just soothes my mind.  I love chopping the vegetables, toasting the rice, standing over the oven and stirring, adding in the cheese at the end… and if I am feeling frisky, I have some truffle oil in the cabinet (thanks mom!) to drizzle over it at serving time to make it perfect!

What’s your favourite comfort food?
