Recipe - Tomato Egg-Drop Soup

[kathmandu]

I wrote a very simple recipe for tomato-egg-drop soup. Classic, tastes yummy, made from things that keep. I made it a lot when I lived alone and ate a lot of 'veggie sticks, milk, and bread' meals. Hot food helped me feel more cared for, and this was easy and didn't have to be planned in advance.

Or, ridiculously longwinded musings on some ways I increase food security when the resources I'm lacking include mental/emotional ones.

Random tips for fast Chinese food

[dichroic]

My post on Sunday cooking is available here (also on LJ and DW). It's about cooking big portions of stuff you like when you have the time, so you can eat it when you don't - and about what foods work well for that.

[silveradept]

I've related some anecdotes about learning to cook by yourself, when you've just gotten out into the world on your own.

[emceeaich]

I've written about making marinara sauce and cooking for friends and family in crisis and change.

[jesse_the_k]

I've been making myself high-protein, low-carb, gluten-free lunch for five years following this basic five-ingredient method.

[automaticdoor]

I wrote a very long comment on oyceter's DW with a recipe for a rice noodle/egg drop soup that is gluten-free, vegetarian, and can be modified to be vegan. The recipe is tailored for beginning cooks and can be made on a hot plate using one pot, a bowl, something to whip eggs with (fork, whisk, etc) and something to stir soup with.

I blogged about making Hobbit Polenta over here. Hobbit food being defined as food that contains onions and mushrooms ...

Starch and Protein

I just posted a recipe for quick and dirty, not-so-authentic, yummy aloo channa (potatoes and chickpeas).
