I've been on an eggs and bacon kick recently. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because the Coronavius has made me want to seek out comfort foods--things that are "safe."
Anyway, I had three strips of bacan (salty and delightful), one egg (over easy), and a toasted slice of sourdough toast with butter. It was delicious.
Have you been going with the "familiar" at least once a day during these difficult times? I'll probably have bacon and eggs as least once tomorrow.

Bacon and eggs are my daughter's food. I'm going to have some steamed vegetables and beef with sauce at noon.

@TheHorse We cook the raw beef for a few hours with a variety of seasonings, such as salt, soy sauce, cinnamon, cloves, and peppercorns, and so on, and then we slice it up and eat it. We can make a sauce with the mashed garlic ,vinegar and sesame oil.

I had a chicken and tomato sandwich (chicken salad with a slice of tomato) and some snap peas. I had my eggs at breakfast, and I'm saving the bacon for the weekend.

@spiderdust Sounds good. What else did you put in it? I get whole roasted chickens from Safeway now and then.

@TheHorse I did. I had a cup of meat leftover from a chicken I roasted a couple of nights ago. Not quite enough for another meal, but enough for a few servings of chicken salad.

I’ve just been going with what I have and what I can make and eating it. I’m not being too picky.

@TheHorse yes lots of us are doing that. At least I know my husband still gets a pay check since he still has work so we are better off then some people are.

Get some boneless chicken, marinate it with honey and oyster sauce. Then you would BBQ it in your oven, toaster or airfryer.

@just4him Tuna salad sounds good right now, probably because I haven't had in in awhile. Actually, I have tuna, blue cheese dressing, and some other goodies here. I could make a "creative" tuna salad if I wanted to. But I think I'm going to go for a steak sandwich.

@TheHorse it was actually just turkey and cheese, no wrap part. Lol, I was in a hurry.

I haven't had lunch yet today. Come to think of it, I haven't had breakfast yet today (I must rectify that). Yesterday, it was leftover meatloaf, cold. The day before, it was leftover meatloaf, reheated. I think it was tastier cold.

@TheHorse I can be quite clever at things like that. Around here there was a time when one baked chicken would be baked chicken the first night, chicken pot pie the second, chicken a la king, the third and soup the fourth.
My parents spent their teenage years in Nazi-occupied Holland. Stretch limited food resources was an art.

We had our first take-out meal since this lockdown started. We had pizza for lunch. I had a veggie pizza with black olives, mushrooms, spinach, green peppers and tomatoes. Yum!

That sounds very good. Comforting too.
I've been finding that my favorite coffee, prepared just how I like it- brings a feeling of familiar comfort. It seems that I appreciate it more than usual.
