I often cook for myself—less often nowdays, but once or twice a month maybe—and while I enjoy it, I tend to just scarf down the results, and not enjoy it like I would a meal prepared for more than one. I like Nigella in that she advocates eating by oneself and quite well, too.

My standard home alone meal is instant noodles with every single dying vegetable in the house with miso sachet and…eek, someitmes with frozen fish balls…

In fact that is my lunch today. No fish balls though, leftover tea smoked duck ;)

sounds eerily familiar – made bad two minute noodles today for lunch then good noodle soup for dinner. Several courses of home made ice cream during the day, so proper cooking was done!

When the other half goes away I have been known to live almost entirely on poached eggs on toast, or avocado on toast.

Nowdays I try to plan for his absences and I make big pots of dhal and freeze them so at least I can pretend I’m being semi-healthy and economical.

OOh.

Good days: some kind of pasta or asian noodle with either tinned tuna (for pasta) or salmon (for noodles, with soy sauce and sesame oil) and frozen vegetables. Pasta with pesto (from my freezer) with fresh tomato and that Meredith Dairy marinated goats fetta. Something I’ve cooked and frozen in ‘single dinner’ serves.

Bad days: Tinned spaghetti with cheese and tabasco. Or Continental ‘emergency dinner’ pasta with sauce (tomato version) possibly with frozen peas if I can manage. BBQ chook with fluffy white (or Italian bread) sandwiches, and lettuce if I’ve got any.

Really bad days: Toast with Vegemite. Green and Black’s milk chocolate. Tim Tams.

Great post, and really good to remind me that I’m not the only one who forgets to eat well.

frittalet looks set to make an entrance at my place soon – of course all this slack food is much better than what I am about to eat at the SCG … gah!!

just remembered the two egg Frittattalet. in its simplest form, chop up two mushrooms and one rasher of bacon and saute, add two beaten eggs, top with grated cheese, let it cook for a bit, move to under the griller pull it out before it burns, serve with toast.
