I love to cook, but when I´m alone I tend to make sadwichs or tacos and bring them to the computer. I don´t like to set a plate at a lonely table and eat all by myself. So I eat and post.
What do you do? What kind of meals do you eat on those occations? Share
Happy posting

Oh me too. If I'm alone I make a plate of food and eat it at the computer. I will usually make a bowl of pasta, chicken fajitas, bowl of chips and salsa or just a cup of tea with cookies. I know its not healthy to eat at the computer but if I'm alone its boring to just sit at the table alone. I wouldn't even go into a restaurant to eat alone. Sitting at the computer I can accomplish two things at one time.

The computer is a nice company,Although sometimes the keyboard suffers.

I don't like the feeling of eating alone on a big table too. When I'm on a roll, I usually make pasta with some tomatoes, onions and basil, with lots of cheese. :) Or salsa with chips. We don't have much supply of fresh bread every day, so we don't get to have more sandwiches as we would like.

I am sure you are a good cook. I never try the tacos, just figure out what is the taste there. If I went back home on weekend, I love to make the salad by myself and then bring to the TV stand or the computor. Surely I can only watch TV or movie in the computor as my hands are full of busy things..
In my renting apartment, I did not buy the refrigerator so that I did not make the salad as I prefer cold one. It is cool for the cold salads. In this time, I will just eat the snap or the fruit instead.
Happy posting too.

Hey there,
I eat almost anything and everything. It's very rare that I have to eat by myself as I have 2 little ones that I'm hardly ever without. But when I do get the pleasure of being alone I tend to eat nothing but snack type food. Like, chips, popcorn, candy, etc. I rarely make a full supper when my kids aren't here. Even though my husband would still like me too! LOL

When the kids were little we all sat at the table while eating and I always prepared good diners. Now I live alone and eat "real" food only when I have company. Fortunatly I have lots of friends and they like how I cook.Alone I eat mainly sandwichs by the computer.

Hi Jo,
I have never liked to eat alone. I don´t mind doing anything else by myself. Perhaps that´s why lately I have begun to "adopt" people that are as alone as I am. My latest adoption was the cousin that invited me to his mother´s on October 12th. On the way back I asked him how he lived and what he ate. He has been divorced for many years and is not the social kind of person. As I thought, he ate ****. So I invited him once a week for diner (he´s helping me out with the expenses) and he takes the leftovers on a sort of doggy bag.., We have lots of fun as we were very chumy when we were little. We are both the same age.
Hug!

I eat anything that i feel like eating, I do watch out at how much I eat but when I am really lazy and bored + hungry at the same time, I just stuff myself with anything that I see until I am full, then afterwards I mostly feel sick and just lay down to feel better

I´m prepared for those feelings, as I live alone. I have on hand good breads of different kinds to make sandwichs, cans (tuna, hearts of palm, sweet peppers, etc)and I always have in the fridge ham, bologne and a couple of cheeses. So I make sandwichs but they are easy to do, filling and VERY yummy!!!

When i am alone at home i just prepare instant noodles, oatmeal and banana plus milk and juice. I am fine with these foods while alternately watching TV and doing mylot. It's not practical preparing food for just one person. I better make life easy for me.

So true! But sometimes I say that I have to eat nice and then invite some friends

if you invite friends to be with you then you will be forced to prepare something for all of you to eat while jamming and having fun. You can ask them to bring their share of food and it will be more FUN.

I love making food from scratch. When I am alone I love making my own pizzas and savour it while watching my favorite show on television. It is time consuming though but its worth all the effort. Happiness filled me with every bit of my personal favorite pizza.
