Hunger, it is said, "is the best sauce." Pancakes outside cooked on a Coleman stove after a long hike. A pot of stew in the slow cooker waiting at home while you're at work. Anytime you "could have eaten a horse."
The other day Dave emerged from his tiny, temporary office (my old study) after a #$5*@!) morning and said, "I'm hungry; what's for lunch?" While he's perfectly happy to get his own meals (peanut butter and crackers eaten over the sink in 5 minutes is a favorite), he'll take more of a break if I fix anything at all. If I'm cooking, I often cook early and he's lucky enough to get some of it. That day, I wasn't cooking; I was cleaning and unpacking one more box or ten. Still, I was hungry, too. A quick search of the fridge allowed that there were indeed eggs along with some leftover tomatoes, cooked red potatoes, and a big box of crispy, peppery arugula. I didn't know what I'd make exactly, but I began with a large skillet with olive oil and onions....
