Weird Solo Meals?

[NotQuiteCockney]

I can't seem to bring myself to cook for just myself. So I eat weird leftover things.

Today's (early) lunch: cottage cheese and homemade spicy ratatouille. Eaten cold. Yum.

What weird things does everyone else eat?

Funnies page character who ate very big sarnies. North American. Picture here .

Oh, the yarn hasn't appeared yet. Hat shouldn't take long to make once yarn is here.

Oh, yarn is a better word for it, anyway!

Wool is a particular fibre, while yarn is anything you'd knit with. I haven't go my head around the fact that all yarns are called "wool" here ...

Ooh, I LOVE cooking just for me. Its so bloody lovely and self-indulgent. I do extra special shops if I know dh is away including lovely things like tiger prawns and scallops. Or a fave standby just for me is prawn Thai curry - really hot. I don't even bother with a bowl but eat it straight from the pan. Sheer bliss. Mind you, can also relate to the chip butty or the mashed potato sandwich with HP sauce

Just dropped dd off at my dads.Sat on own eating cheesy homemade mash and king prawns

lovely

I think I have nearly done a slab of brie

Eating alone is great - I can have stovies - Scottish dish with corned beef in that makes DP puke. Then I can have sprouts with everything, and as much mayo as I like on anything with chips. Home made egg fried rice is a current fave too.

plain crisp sandwiches
cheese and onion crisps and chocolate

plain scones with too much butter, grated cheese and tinned sweetcorn. And salt

Greeny, where's the rice? Pasta? Potatoes? Anything?

I probably should cook real meals for myself, but really cannot be arsed. I do try to make sure there are reheating-friendly leftovers about ...

wierdest I remember having was pasta with baked beans after a long shift when I discovered little else in the house (when living alone still, I have to add, in case anyone thinks me the awfullest mum ever). Just out of curiosity, wher are you from NQC since you talk about Brit foibles? And just as an aside, curried/spiced mashed pots in a toasted sarnie is actually quite nice even if not so very good for you

Anyone else just eaten a quarter of a lemon sponge they made for a Playgroup fundraiser tomorrow?

Could blame it on the dds...

Feel the shame.

Naughty Emmylou. Are you ...
a) going to get up early and make another one.
b) cut it into small squares and brazen it out
c) nip to the shop and buy a replacement or,
d) stay in bed and pretend you have a 24 hour bug

????? MN wants to know...

I regularly have a pint of hot chocolate for lunch/supper if I don't fancy what the boys are having. As a student I would have a bowl of mashed swede (yum).

Fawkesbride - I took in the 3/4 that was left and casually said that I'd taken 1/4 as we'd had no pudding in the house the night before...there were raised eyebrows from the mums that know me but the 'greed effect' was tempered by the fact that i had taken in another homemade cake too.

But Crayon - a bowl of mashed swede! Bluergh.

My favourite solo snack is a Duchy Original oaten biscuit with 3 squares of Green & Blacks dark chocolate - the rough and the smooth together mmmm.

Dh likes stilton and strawberry jam on water table crackers.

Oh, funny, I was thinking about how I've not had swede for ages, and wanting some .

A Fry's Chocolate Creme sandwich. Better if it is on white bread too.

You can hear my heart palpitating from a mile away.

Ok, that's pretty gross, tbh.

I spoke to a Norwegian friend today, and she told me that although they don't do the whole "pasta with a side of bread and some rice on top, with a garnish of potato", they do eat a great deal of potato. So maybe it is the cold and damp ...

my mum eats condensed milk butties, when she lived in the uk and went to slimming club she'd sometimes explain to the person doing the weighing in "I don't understand it I'd have to muffle the laughter cos I knew she'd had a condensed milk buttie!!"

Is condensed milk the sweetened one?

Actually, I don't know why I'm asking, either way, it's gross

eggs and beans with ketchup

crisp sandwich. With cheese. And Mayo

or if really really annoyed chips with gravy and cheese

DH used to eat garlic puree sandwiches

Only just seen this thread - I love carbs but when i was pg the only thing i really had a desperate craving for was oranges smug-healthy or wot?

And GunpowderTreasonAndSNOT - I had pre-eclampsia too with ds1, and swelled to gigantic proportions - 5'10 and 110kg which I think is about 17 stone - I was 12 stone beforehand. Mind you - I had 9lb8oz baby & the biggest placenta the mw had ever seen so when i weighed myself 2 days later i'd lost 2 & a half stone - poor old kidneys must've had to be turbocharged.
