Destroying the Evidence

I’m a couple of years into cooking for one person and while I’m not a completely horrible cook, I am definitely a work in progress. Today I tried a new recipe and generally, placing a new masterpiece on the dining room table makes me feel like something out of a Norman Rockwell piece - only without all of those smiling faces looking on eagerly, of course. Then I spend most of my meal thinking about the amount of groceries I bought, just to put most of them in the fridge as leftovers. “It’s a lonely feeling,” I think to myself, “cooking for one person.”

But then there are days like today where I see an unexpected blessing to being single – you can throw that disaster of a meal away and nobody has to know

Sorry your supper is so dull.My supper usually consist of road kill,just joking.I still haven't eaten yet.It was such a nice day I couldn't resist taking a ride on my motorcyle.It was nice until the wind almost blew me away.I made it back so I guess I'll dig some schwan's out of the freezer,throw it in the microwave.and stick a fork in me I'm done for today.
