Instant Comfort

After spending a total of 16hrs in the air, 14hrs total waiting to fly in 3 different airports, and 2 connection flights, I was freaking HUNGRY for some homemade cooking that would require as less effort as possible. Egg Sandwich and Cream Corn Soup was the answer.

The soup and sandwich combo. What is there not to love about it. It's the perfect lunch, the perfect breakfast, and the perfect dinner. Add a small side salad and it gets even better. After a long flight, I needed something to help me forget about crappy economy class meals and rip of airport food. Although I did had a pretty good experience with French Macrons at Narita International Airport's Starbucks in Japan, but that's for another post. I need some home cooking, but jet lagged and a knife is not a good idea.



At times like these instant food is the way to go. One of my favorites are instant soups from Knorr. They come in a variety of flavors including spinach, mushroom, squash, potato, corn, and tomato. One small package usually contains 4 servings and each servings are individually wrapped. Just pour out the contents and add 150ml of hot boiling water. Mix and instant comfort! Hmmm...but something was missing and before I started pouring the hot water I knew I needed something else. Egg sandwich! When I was in Japan I was really craving this egg sandwich I had the last time I was there, but sadly I couldn't find it this time around. Usually found in supermarkets or convenient stores, they are wrap up in a package and contain two slices of white crust less bread sandwich between a simple mixture of egg, mayonnaise, and mustard. The slices of bread are somehow press together in a way that the sides are sealed up. Such a simple sandwich and that was exactly what I needed.

I tried to sealed up the slices of bread together but it just didn't work. Need to figure that part out next time. It's a bitter sweet feeling coming back home, and although a sandwich and a soup can't change that, it was good to know simple food can always bring a little comfort. Going to rest up a bit before posting all the amazing food I got to eat while in Japan. Stay tune!
