Food to Soothe the Soul

I woke up this morning very much on the wrong side of the bed. Nothing could pull me out of this one.

Until lunch.

Thanks to Ben's Kosher Deli on 38th Street in NYC, little pieces of my soul began to heal.

One 2" thick house-cured corned beef sandwich
One house-made potato knish
One Kosher pickle
One Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray soda

The comfort foods of my childhood. And apparently my adulthood, too.

I'm still amazed of the power a simple meal can have.

“A good meal soothes the soul as it regenerates the body.”
Frederick W. Hackwood, Good Cheer (1911)
