#7
“Egg drop soup is chicken broth, eggs, soy sauce and green onions. That’s four but close enough. Add sesame oil optionally.”

#10

#12

#13
“A tomato sandwich. All you need is tomato, mayonnaise, and sliced bread. I have this most summer days when fresh local tomatoes are at their peak. It’s probably the meal I eat most often.”
#14
“Baked potato with butter and shredded cheddar.”
#15
“I love to cut up a carrot or two and throw them in a foil packet with some olive oil and ginger. Salt to taste, seal up the packet and bake until you can smell it. Usually 20-30 minutes but I’ve left them for 45 before and they just get more caramelized. They end up sweet and savory and I can eat a whole bowl of it with nothing else added. Maybe some fresh ground pepper but not always. The ginger adds a great something to it.”
#16
“Cinnamon toast.”
#17
“A toasted slice of a crusty Italian bread dipped in good, flavored olive oil. Add something like salt, pepper, garlic, or grated Parmesan if you’re feeling ambitious.”
#18
“Oatmeal with peanut butter and a chopped apple stirred into it. For true comfort food, I just want to replicate a fancy version of those instant oatmeal packets from childhood.”
#19
“fried rice
All you need is rice, egg, shallot/onion and some meat (optional). I’m not counting salt, pepper etc. here though
It’s easy and quick to make, and always my go to food when I’m sad.”

“Simple toast. Preferably with decent bread, at least Italian or sourdough. Toast it until it’s really toasted not just warm bread and slather with Irish butter. Toast is one of my top 5 favorite foods.”
