Sirloin baked in a dutch oven with a gravy concoction and brown rice. Washed down with a diet coke. Did I mention I have a "Danger Men Cooking" sign in my kitchen?  Hope that was't cooked in a dutch oven like "Les" has. If it was I've never heard it described so eloquently?  not sure what Les has - but mine is a plain ol' Lodge cast iron dutch oven. Pretty cool deal, almost as tender as cooking it 7 hrs in a slow cooker, but it's ready in only 75 minutes. The gravy left over is great on brown rice.

I can't cook for just me... It's something I've not been able to do since I left my ex-wife...
The weeks I don't have my son,I eat frozen stuff liks Stouffers and Hungry-Man Chicken pot pies...
Cooking for one is hard to do... You can, but you won't. Choices and all. No reason to not cook for yerself. I do understand it isn't the same, but the $h!t you have eat from other places, make it a must. I cook for myself or family all the time. Nobody can cook the stuff you like as good as you do. If you can't scale it down, make plenty for the freezer...

From what I understand Les's consists of a mattress covered by linen in which he pulls over his head when he turns the gas on.  Yours definitely sounds better! I will now go to my room.

My wife is a soup lady. She will throw together a soup that would win contests then when we ask what she did she replies that she just put whatever she thought would be good in a pot and never bothers to write it down.  We get a great dinner and will never get the same thing again.

I don't know why, I like the little bit different concept truthfully

OK but sometimes, make that many times she throws together a soup that is beyond words. It would be so nice if she would just write it down so us soup challenged could make as good a soup once in a while.

If you can't scale it down, make plenty for the freezer... That's what I used to do when I was in Bart's current situation. I'd cook a meal for 4-6 eat plenty and freeze portions to nuke when I was short on time or motivation.

Hot dogs southern West Virginia style with homemade meat sauce, finely shredded slaw, white onion, and mustard.
When I was single cooking for just me was easy. I'd cook a pot of something or other I like divide the left overs and freeze it.

Tonight?
A huge batch of Venison chilli and corn bread for the Lodge's annual meeting.
The recipe started many years ago as a Marlin recipe:
Texas Venison Chilli,
with a little tweeking.

Good Lord man you want her to give you an exact recipe, so you can replicate it and then it will no longer be "hers" and "hers" alone ????  Never ! Besides that, she can't remember, and truly, she can't remember. Ask me how I know

Feeling fine my appetite is way off since the surgery and I don't force feed me. I have lost 18 pounds and that is a good thing. I understand, just thinking about you I have lost 13 pounds in just over 4 weeks, and that is not a good thing, or so my Doctor says. I'm just tired of my clothes falling off me.... Just buy new ones! But then maybe it could get exciting when they do fall off!
