Cooking just for yourself is a pain in the arse, isn't it? Who can be bothered?
I certainly can't. My wife is away for the week and I seem to have regressed. I have not eaten a meal off a plate since Sunday, preferring to grab handfuls of whatever I find in the fridge, shove them into my mouth and move on.
As I ate alternate handfuls of cold roast pork and cooked, cold cabbage left over from Sunday's dinner on Monday, I wondered if perhaps things had gone a little bit wrong. So last night I cooked. I made popcorn. With a microwave.
I expect I'll be going through people's bins by Friday. :shrug:
-
Beans on toast is your friend.
The stereotype food of students but a fine meal nonetheless.
Or cheese on toast.
-
There must be some kebab action.
Surely there will be some kebab action?
I'm thinking of making some Thai-style crab cakes tonight, but I'm worried that they won't hold together on the spit.
-
I'm surprised b. I quite embrace cooking alone. I'm allowed to get elaborate that way.
As well as extremely pissed.
-
Goalpost moving alert.
You sir have surely moved into the area of 'takeaway food when one is alone'.
-
No. I'm eating healthily. Well,. as healthily as what I can find in the fridge allows.
-
But the chap must eat, sw. He contends that cooking whilst home alone is a tiresome chore;
his chosen method of dealing with this issue is eating leftovers from the fridge.
Surely, under these circumstances, any caring friend would recommend the kebab option?
-
Cooking for yourself is great. You don't have to pander to the others
and eat what you like every night. Might die sooner than expected but it's great fun
-
I had the place to myself for 2 weeks.
I had the same sort of situation. Ended up sick a dog throwing up constantly.
It might have been that I had takeaway Pizza for 2 days in a row for each meal :hide:
so it didn't turn out to be the ****ing, junkfood, playstation fest I had envisaged.
-
Pizza Hut have just the thing - the 8 meat pie stuffed crust pizza

-
I am not disputing the generosity of your suggestion.
Simply that I like to stick to the topic.
Ftr I nearly had a kebab for lunch just now but instead went for Nasi Goreng which I am hugely disappointed to admit came with a fried egg that was not soft / runny.
-
Such disappointments may be hard to bear, but they have the merit of building character.
A man who has faced an over cooked egg may face any travail with impunity, sw.
-
Nah. For me, cooking is an act of love. Cooking just for oneself is therefore just masturbation - a
pointless, inadequate, unsatisfactory and ultimately rather depressing thing. :-(
-
I find an olde Irish saying covers this quite beautifully.
*******s to the merit of character building.
I think it was Shaw, George Bernard.
-
Jesus, have they topped it with Jammie Dodgers?
I love a deep pan pizza, me, it's literally my favourite variety but these stuffed crusts are a step too far
-
It could be worse. You could have ordered Eggs Benedict and been served hard yolks. This actually
happens :-( I had it once in a Cafe Rouge (I know!) and complained. They told me company policy was not to serve runny eggs. :cry:
Less forgivably, I once had it happen in The Ritz. But, since someone else was paying and it was a business meeting, I felt it would have been wrong to send it back.
-

And in the Irish?
I expect it sounds a gentle as the breeze.
-
I did for a second think "bet Jorge would like that".
And there we have it.
-
Deep pan pizza is povvo tramp food, FACT.
-
Not really keen on deep pan myself.
-
And where would the fellow have ordered the Eggs B, for all love?
Surely he reposes south of the border?
-
It *is* overkill though, isnt it?
I mean, there's enough cheese/meat etc on the pizza, no?
Also, your crust is literally your reference point for the rigidity of the thing.
Stop this stuff crust madness
-
Isnt the original point of pizza that it's povvo food?
Also, are you playing in Rich's position today?
-
Once you accept deep pan, stuffed crusts are a logical inevitability.
It's the thick end of the wedge. Quite liderally.
-
I've been cooking it at home a lot
Well I say "I have" it's more the Mrs and her doughey kitchen aid stylings
-
A gentle breeze on a soft day.
Sure and indeed begorrah.
-
You can't even blame the Americans for this stuff Jorge. A lot of the ones they release
are not even done over there. They trial them here first. Like the Hotdog crust.
This country is becoming verrrrrrrry strange. I overheard some business types the other day talking about a WOW Factor Meeting.
:-(
-
Given it was the Ritz you should have complained.
I have had said dish in the past and been served crispy rashers, which admittedly were nice but not what I had asked for.
-
Those were Italian povvos though. The proud, dignified terroni.
Nothing at all like the northern benefit junkies who eat at Pizza Hut.
-
No they are not, your deep pan is a thing of beauty in itself
Not that I dont like napoletana, romana or taglio. It's a broad church, just without Sophie from Peep Show and Dr Who
-
Heavy southern bias here
-
I'm playing False Rich: deep-lying c**tery to link up play with more established c**ts.
A pizza shouldn't look and taste like a cake, basics.
-
We're like Austria to the USs Germany
Like the provisional wing
-
Zonal Merking, if you will
-
Bless you, I was being in no way geographical.
I was using 'northern' in its most literal sense, meaning 'common'. :nod:
-
Oh I see, like "chavvy"
Except, of course, that refers to a certain town in Kent
-
Are you not able to love yourself?
I'm sure you had plenty of experience before you were married.
-
They are doing it all wrong. Remember when you were young. You watch an American move or show
somebody says something 'Sucked' How weird did that sound.
You couldn't imagine saying it yourself.
Now everyone is talking like a c**t. Endless baseball expressions being used too.
:shrug:
I like Americans. Let Americans do that american stuff. I am in England and more or less English. When I go for dinner I don't want some fake chirpy woman referring to our table as 'HEY GUYS'
-
The boy Owen taught me nevfer to use that term, j. It is used to demonise the underprivileged,
which as you know is anathema to my egalitarian principles.
-
You do say, '... on the weekend..' mind.
