When I'm eating alone I usually try to eat a "normal" dinner, which would be something like: steamed green veggies, riblets (soy and very delish), and a baked potato with fresh salsa fresca on it. BUT...If I'm feeling like splurging (diet-wise), I'll make some fresh pasta (store bought!), with a dash of olive oil, butter and copious amounts of parmesean. Or, I'll saute some garlic and onions, add a bag of frozen peas, some celery, add a can of Muir organic crushed tomatoes, and simmer...add ALOT of parm, again, and dive in! Yum.

What a wonderful writer she was. Home alone often begs for any veggies on hand sauteed and then put on top of a wee bit of angel hair pasta. Or, chopped fresh delicious tomato salted and sweaty topped with a squished boiled egg with mayo and scrunched saltines. Pepper generously. Stir. Eat. I love the Laurie Colwin quote.

It sounds entertaining and being single, unless I'm entertaining for friends I'm eating alone. That said, I tend to spend the time to cook more elaborate meals on the weekends. During the week, I'm usually going for comfort food. Do you ever do breakfast for dinner? That's my comfort food. I love eggs. Any style. So during the week, it's often an egg poached in extra virgin olive oil served on a lightly toasted Thomas' multi-grain english muffin spread with whatever spread-y thing I have in the fridge – hummus, pesto, mayo, or thousand island dressing – usually with thinly sliced red onions and a sliver of asiago or Mexican cheese like Pañela and a latté. Hey, my tummy's rumbling. Think I'll go make that right now. :lol: I have to buy this book! It sounds entertaining and being single, unless I’m entertaining for friends I’m eating alone.
