Comfort Food for Sick Ones
Our household has been passing around a nasty cold this week. Time for Egg Rice.
My grandmother fed us this when we were sick. I am not sure the origin of this tradition, but our family is known for it. I once posted this on Facebook and a childhood friend commented, "That is such a Simon thing!"
Basically, this is egg fried rice without the Asian flavors. I don't know why it tastes so good when you're sick. Perhaps the simplicity of the ingredients ~ butter, rice, egg, salt, pepper....comfort in a bowl.
