How to Eat Alone (and Like It)

[2naSalit]

14. Been alone the majority of my adult life

and decided long ago to enjoy whatever I eat. I don't eat out like I used to when I traveled but that doesn't matter, I make spectacular food for myself all the time. Not that I am not reduced to a bag of potato chips with plain sour cream as a dip on occasion. I don't eat all the time and can only actually eat when I'm hungry, which isn't a bad thing. So this means I need nutrient dense meals which means I need to be creative to get all the nutrition I need in each meal, I can't eat large amounts in one sitting either. I make things like spinach stroganoff, or all day spaghetti sauce, or I'll roast a chicken and freeze what I don't eat right away for other meals. I make "juices" that have a virtual salad in them and taste great...

I don't particularly care to eat out alone but I will if I don't feel like cooking. I tell the wait staff that it's their turn to feed me. That wasn't such a big deal when I lived in a tiny town where I had cooked in half the kitchens in town but it's a little less pleasant elsewhere. That said, I'll eat what I want and not feel any remorse for it.
