Here's how lazy single people manage to eat well. |
As Richard Nixon once said, "I am not a cook." Or maybe it was Melania Trump. Either way, neither am I. But I do like to eat. Hence, I have become quite expert in preparing delicious, fresh-tasting meals out of frozen and pre-packaged ingredients. Tonight I'm just having chicken nuggets, but the "side dish" is what you'd want to write a blog page about: whole grain rice infused with sauteed mushrooms, minced garlic, and black olives. (To be honest, the nuggets are almost unneccessary.)
I've been married or partnered most of my life. In most of my relationships, my spouse did most of the cooking. I was grateful to not have to because, as noted ppreviously, I am lazy. But when I did cook, I was grateful to contribute and always tried to make something my family would enjoy (like French toast for my kids).
Now that I'm single and retired (so I don't have to eat in cafeterias and restaurants—something else for which I am grateful!) I am grateful to be able to make my own meals, for me.
