It's the minutiae that kills me

[amul]

As I've often said, the thing that irritates me most about living alone is that I have to choose what I'm going to eat, three meals a day, every day, without any input, all by myself.

I am so utterly sick of my usual breakfast options.

I typically have eggs, usually an omlette with onions, tomatoes, cheese and one of two sets of spices. Sometimes I eat it as a sandwich. Sometimes, I'll eat it with bacon or sausage. Occasionally, I have cereal instead. In the winter, I might make myself a bowl of cream of wheat. Pancakes generally take too long, and there's no way to mix together a small enough batch.

I'm pretty sick of lunch, too, which usually consists of a deli-meat sandwich.

Dinner, I'm still doing okay on. I have time to cook properly for dinner, and so a much larger variety of options is available to me. The other two meals, though, I need to make quickly, so as not to get lost in the act of cooking and waste my day.

Any suggestions?


As I spend more time hanging out with the Chicago Crew, and all those herbivores in Pgh, it occurs to me that I am not as omnivorous as I always claimed to be. I've always said that it makes little difference to me if I eat meat or vegetables, so long as it tastes good. But I've noticed lately that I tend to choose meat.

On the other hand, maybe this is just some subconscious attempt to please the girl I'm infatuated with, the Radiant Idol which I praise from....well, not afar. More like from the other side of the couch. I'm not such a sad sap that I'd change my eating habits for a girl, but there's no denying that the smallest comment RI makes lingers in my head for hours.

*sigh* Enough of this sappy romanticism. It feeds the soul but denies the flesh. It's been nearly a month since the red-head from my birthday told me to wait a month before hitting on her. I think it's time to head to a certain pub....

i totally feel your angst at cooking for one and being tired of the available options for a quick meal for one. maybe there's a million dollar idea here that we're missing....or maybe we just need to get motivated. on the otehr hand...i usually ahve a bagel for breakfast. it's filling, and there's alot of variety available for toppings and bagle flavor. and you could have your eggs on your bagel! m.....bagel.

I think that bandwagon has already been jumped - Toaster Scrambles, hot pockets, breakfast burritos.....the problem is, none of it is actual food.

And if I was to suggest a Bachelor's Cookbook, I bet I'd find it's already in print.

Hrm, that's an idea worth exploring, actually...
