Noodles and Rice

Solo Cooking

by Tom on June 23rd, 2008

My wife is overseas for a week and my kids are not interested in eating what I cook for myself (that is reasonable because I am not interested in what I cook for them either - boring for my three year old and mushy for my toothless one year old) so it is solo cooking again for me. 

I used to be accustomed to it, even like it, but now I find it frustrating and tedious.  I can never seem to muster up any creativity or real effort if it is just me eating.  All too quickly I think of easy options and try anything that fills my stomach without much effort.  To help me get through this week without resorting to leftover leftovers and cup noodle dinners I am going to publish my dinners every day.  It is my way of keeping myself honest.  If I am forced to publish what I eat every night then maybe I will have the pride enough to cook something decent.  We’ll see.

While I am at it, I’d love to hear what you cook for yourself when it is just you at home.  Any hints on One-Serve masterpieces would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks
