Dinner for One

Whew, it's been a while since my last post.  Needless to say, I'm not keeping up with the New Tuesdays with Dorie.  Perhaps that's best for my waistline, but not for my kitchen skills.  I guess full time employment has done that to me....

Tonight I'm home alone.  Dinner solo.  It makes me wonder, what do other people make for dinner when they are alone.  Back when I was in college, and I was eating solo I had two default dinners: refried bean burritos and english muffin pizzas.  Healthy right?  That bean burrito is still one of my favorite comfort foods.

Tonight I'm having cheese and crackers and white wine.  It's another default dinner.  I was refilling my glass in the kitchen and just had a clear memory of back when I lived in LI during graduate school.  I didn't realize how many nights I had cheese and crackers for dinner, often with a glass..or two..of wine until my roommate pointed it out.  I guess it's another comfort...or perhaps laziness...food.

As much as I wish my husband was home tonight, I will enjoy my cheese and cracker dinner and my one..or two..glasses of white wine.  But I'll also enjoy watching my shows on DVR.  Sometimes Dinner for One isn't really that bad.

I should really check out this book...maybe other people enjoy their cheese and cracker dinners solo?

What are your favorite Dinner for One menus?
