Cooking for One

Cooking for one kind of sucks. It's really hard to make a meal for one. Also, I don't really "do" leftovers. My belly rebels against eating the same thing twice, back to back. So I'm not a good candidate for making lots and eating it again the next day for lunch. For dinner maybe, if I eat something completely non-related for lunch in between.

But tonight I finally succeeded at making myself a meal for one!!!!! Shepherd's Pie. My favorite. Yves veggie grind, carrots, celery, cauliflower, corn, tomatoes, garlic, topped with yummy mashed potatoes. I usually make a HUGE dish of it because Rob's usually here for dinner and he loves having it for lunch the next day. So tonight I decided to give it a whirl and make a smaller portion. As my mom will probably agree, her and I are not that great at making portions small. But tonight I did and I'm very proud of myself. :o)

So now that I'm full and finally warm (takes a while to warm up after standing outside with the dog) I'm going to run a hot bath and read my new book, Raven Stole the Moon by Garth Stein. He wrote another book I quite enjoyed, The Art of Racing in the Rain. Good stuff.

Night!
