A recipe of my favorite dish is very simple—bread and milk with
American cheese broken into it. I eat this dish once a day every day
and find it wholesome and nourishing. It does not require any skillful
putting together, simply a good appetite and a taste for that sort of
provender. If there is an apple pie anywhere around to top it off with,
I do not despise that.
I find as a rule that the simpler and more elementary the food, the
better so far as the body is concerned. And take it the year around a
bowl of milk with fresh bread and rich American cheese, finishing up
with “good apple pie like mother used to make,” is all the midday meal
I need. I can work on that all the afternoon and feel better than if I
had had a seven course dinner.
