Cooking for one

[breakinglight11]

I spent a lovely hour this afternoon on a blanket in my backyard sunbathing in my bikini. Mmm, I could get used to that.

Not too many people are around this week. So I am going to be working on something I haven't really done before-- cooking for just myself. In addition to being an economical alternative to eating out all the time, it'll be a good way to practice my cooking skills without worrying about disappointing guests, and since I really only have experience cooking for ten people at a time, it'll be a nice, less stressful change. I probably should have planned myself a menu for the coming week including the most trayf dishes I could think of-- no kosher boys around to worry about --but by accident or perhaps habit most of them conform perfectly to kashrut. Darn. :-) Ah, well, when Marissa is around Saturday night I'm gonna make pork chops. So there. :-) Okay, so I'm not totally just making dinner for myself, but it'll be nice to hang with Marissa a little, since she'll be going to Greece in the fall.

Also, if I wasn't sure already, listening to him last night definately confirmed this-- I like Andy Kaufman.

Andy Kaufman's stuff on old old old SNL is really funny.

I gotta warn you, it can be really difficult to make nice dinners for one. Food isn't really portioned for one. My recommendation, to make it easier, is to cook as if you were cooking for two (or three). Then enjoy the leftovers as a lunch sometime later in the week.

(And definitely do something with proper pork kielbasa while the jewboys are away!)

Heehee, that's where my Rachael Ray cookbook comes in handy-- it has a whole section on single-portion meals, and I must say, they're not half bad.

Also, mmm, pork kielbasa! Excellent idea!
