It’s no fun to cook for one. But cooking for two or more, and with pets, is a real responsibility. The cook has to be home at certain hours and it takes time to prepare, cook and clean up after family meals.
But I was single for a long time, before I met my prince. Some of my favorite meals include:
-spaghetti alla carbonara (spags with bacon, eggs and cheese);
-basic dry quesadilla with monterey jack and then salsa and avocado on top (if I felt rich that day);
-soups, either Julia Child’s French Onion Soup or Mom’s Mulligatawny;
-stews, Beef Carbonnade or a light veal stew with lemon I haven’t made in years; and
-the old stand-by, peanut butter on toast, standing over the kitchen sink.
While I think of it as a chore sometimes to always try to come up with something tasty and satisfying for Jim, it beats eating alone every night. But when he does go out of town sometimes that quesadilla feeling comes over me and I have to spend $1 on dinner. Ok I had everything but an avocado! But it’s necessary! It’s the “meat” in my dinner. Enjoy cooking for your loved ones. Dee
