I do "international date nights" with my girlfriend, where we pick a country and make some food from it and enjoy a bit of its culture.
Tonight is Bulgaria. We're making tarator (cold cucumber soup) and shopska salad and drinking a Bulgarian mavrud red wine and snacking on kashkaval sheep's cheese. I've gotta introduce my gf to some chalga music while we make dinner, and we'll watch the Bulgarian movie "In the Heart of the Machine" while we eat -- it's about a group of prisoner factory workers in communist-era Bulgaria who find a pigeon trapped inside of a machine and they work together to rescue it.
Soup and bread is genuinely great if you have them available and don't want to put effort into cooking. It's the right kind of simple and hearty thing that helps when you feel run down
