Pastina with Egg and Cheese, Otherwise Known As Comfort Food
I love the general category of comfort food. As in poached eggs on buttered toast. Cream of Wheat. Chicken soup with rice. Sometimes a warm bowl of comfort food is the only thing that will do when you are feeling blue, or tired, or overwhelmed by the busy-ness of it all. Or maybe you just want to be 5 years old again, for a few minutes. Anyway, I have my little repertoire of meals that fall into this category, and I was delighted to run across a new one the other day in this book I just finished reading.
