YUM! It’s too bad you’ve gone and moved within the same darn borough. Otherwise I’d be at yours all the time or telling you to come to mine so we can cook for each other. Ah well. I am so with you on the whole roasted chicken thing – it’s not that much effort, but done on a Sunday, I am sure I can make the leftovers go through a few dinners and a few bento lunches, even
Oh! And so it’s true about the pizza dough thing? Giada talks about it – buying pizza dough from your favorite/local pizzeria- but I felt funny about it so have yet to go into one and ask. Plus my favorite pizzeria is 2 blocks from work, but an hour from home, so I’m not sure it’d last the trek home?
Ah, I love this post, it speaks to me. Today is a bit warm but were it a few days earlier, I’d totally be making soup tonight…

I have still never made a roasted chicken…I know lame.

One of my favorite comfort foods or cold weather foods is matzo ball soup from the box…I know! But it’s just so goo and sometimes I add vegetables.

To add to the instant ramen & poached egg comments, I love adding any kind of leafy green, too, like watercress or even that romaine or escarole you know is going to be too limp to eat in a couple of days. Just scoop out your egg and noodles and blanch some chopped up leaves quickly in that discolored boiling water for a minute or two.

That is one inspiring pizza…I may have to change dinner plans!

I totally agree on roasting a chicken for stormy-weather food. Or baking a sweet potato in its jacket until its sugars have all caramelized and it’s soft and mushy, then topping it off with a healthy dose of butter and a bit of salt.

Oh, I agree, you have to crack an egg into ramen (or udon). They joy of breaking the poached yolk with chopstick tip(s) and letting it gently coat the very al dente noodles while being further cooked by the hot broth and then devouring the cholesterol cum carbohydrate goodness is simply marvelous. Chopping up some scallion greens and adding them at the end makes it healthy.

yes, black beans and rice! my absolute “go-to” meal, and i got my start on the back of the goya can as well! i make some adjustments, adding some cocoa or dark chocolate, cinnamon, and coffee .and of course, i throw some of it in the blender to thicken it all up. what a delicious way to eat for a few days! (and for pennies!)

the pizza looks delicious- good idea to get fresh dough from the pizza place. my “stormy weather food” is usually chicken noodle soup. i will try making the roast chicken the night before next time.
