Alone? If I am all alone I usually just eat leftovers or something like peppers and eggs or spinach with eggs. If husband is gone I sometimes make pancakes, cakes or waffles for dinner which he finds troubling for some reason I don't really grasp. If oldest daughter is gone I make fish. Youngest gone Mexican. Husband and oldest daughter gone something like that mozzarella in tomato broth. Both kids gone... that is when we open the wine.

ooooo! I loved grape jelly on scrambled eggs when I was a kid. Turns 'em green, Sam-I-am.

This has been true forever: Steak. When I was married, if everybody went away, I'd splurge on a good steak (NY strip is my favorite), buy or make some nice crusty sourdough, and a salad. Now that I live alone, I can't do that every time I cook for just myself, but I still do it when I feel like something special. Often on that first night after the kids go back to their mother.

I'm on my own for dinner this evening, and t-bones are on sale at the market. Methinks I'm going to have one sous vide tonight. Thanks for making me crave it Tim!  Amy
