Simplicity Itself

When it's wet and gloomy all the time. When you have a cracked rib. When Massachusetts voters make you cringe at your place of birth. This is when you need a simple, comforting nosh.
For me, that often means a fried-egg sandwich. This is always open-faced. If you have a really good whole wheat bread, toast one piece (rye or pumpernickel would also work). Meanwhile, you should be frying one free-range happy-chicken egg until firm, but make sure the yolk has a bit of ooze to it. When the toast pops up, lay a slice of your favorite cheese on top; I use soy cheddar, myself. Then flip the egg atop your cheese, thereby causing instant meltification. Salt, pepper, done. Eat slowly and remember to breathe.
