For years when I had to cook just for myself (before and after the house full of kids), I just made scrambled eggs and toast. It wasn't that I didn't know how to cook, but rather that eggs were fast, cheap, filling, and used one pan and one plate. Ok, you could even eat them out of the pan. I had spent so much time cooking for other people that when there was just me, I wanted to spend my time in other ways, i.e. breathing.

| This is one of the first sorts of things I cooked just for myself. A fish salad. Walleye Salad if you're in Minnesota. Make a nice salad while a piece of fish cooks in a pan. Gee. Real rough? But it was a watershed moment. You know how often you hear someone say, "Too hard to cook for just me." I changed that for myself. I set the table, lit the candles, turned on the music, and lived. |
