I skipped lunch yesterday and was starving by evening and of course nothing appealed. Toasted some no-knead, dished up some quick-pickled beets, and made a very simple egg salad. Just not too hard boiled eggs roughly chopped and mixed with paprika, S & P, Dijon, and mayo. Total comfort. I never had egg salad until last year of college when a Texan made it for a quick lunch. She did not cook much but this she could handle (and well). As I recall she used dry mustard but I was out.
Oh we did get scrambled egg sandwiches - just and egg - no dressing) for school lunches. Bit smelly by noon. Melissa Clark tells the story of trying to achieve a signature lunch sandwich like Harriet the Spy's tomato one. She chose egg salad. The day there was no frozen juice can in her bag - you can imagine. Haz-Mat needed for her locker.
