The most comforting thing I ate today

For me, it had to have been the fried egg that accompanied my banana chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast this morning. There’s just something about an over-easy egg that comforts me. Is the fact that I am eating a healthy protein? Is it the bright contrast of the whites and the school-bus-yellow yolks? I think it is probably the way the yolks ooze out all over the plate, soaking into the pancakes, just asking to be sopped up and devoured. — Debbie

Oatmeal strawberry muffins, made from scratch this morning. You’re getting starch and fruity goodness all in one little package. Alright, well, for me that’d be three tiny packages, but who’s counting? — Keith

Today, it was a slice of the homemade banana bread that I made. I love buying a huge number of bananas, knowing I won’t be able to eat them all. It gives me a chance to make the best banana bread in the world. It was warm, fresh from the oven, with a slightly crispy crust and moist and delicious in the center, with big chunks of banana and bits of pecans. — Bob Degon

Today was the kind of Sunday that didn’t see me out of my pajamas. It’s cold outside and I have no reason to leave the house. It was the perfect time for grilled cheese and tomato soup. It’s the quickest, simplest meal in the world, but there’s something about the familiarity of Campbell’s tomato soup that just makes me happy. The fanciest element of the whole thing was that I used gouda in the grilled cheese. Other than that, it’s the same meal we’ve all probably been eating for most of our lives. — Kona

At my grandparents’, for breakfast:  kołacz (a savory Polish yeast bread with cheese baked inside) with butter, which I hadn’t eaten in years.  It reminded me of visits to my grandparents’ when I was a kid, and we would enjoy slice after slice of Aunt Jennie’s kołacz, which was unlike any bread I had ever tasted. — Molly
