After having a ten day rest without my hubby home - not that i got any rest, tomorrow evening he will be home again and therefore I have gotten the home in order, the way he likes it and getting groceries for dinners for two.
Making dinners for one is quite strange and I must say that it took some getting used to, most of the time I just had a plate of pasta (my favourite meal) grated cheese and pesto or any other sauce. I am easy!
No meat for days, almost like a Vegetarian week I have had. Tomorrow I know that hubby will want meat, veggies, rice or potatoes and a big salad as they dont eat every well on their fishing trips.
How do you handle your meals when you are solo "Dinner for one"?
Any ideas for the next fishing trip?
Happy Thursday everyone - Be happy!
Just to let you know that we will be having 25*C temperatures today and tomorrow in the mid-winter sun!
My photo is of the cheese platter we had at Pont de Val on Sunday - Lunch for two!

@Inlemay We rarely have a platter like this. Vin doesn't like cheese in this form. He has tried to like it but just doesn't so we usually avoid platters which is why I enjoy it so much when occasionally we get to share one with someone.

I just checked that temp on the conversion chart and I wish it was only 77F here tomorrow. We're in triple digits tomorrow. I'm staying inside.
As for cooking for one, I've been doing it for a long time, but not successfully. I still cook like I'm feeding a full family. I'm sure you did fine. Pasta is a go to meal for me too.

It's rare that I only have to prepare a meal for myself but usually I have something in the freezer I can take out and defrost and reheat...no fuss or muss.

My husband is the main cook in our house, so when he is not here, and it's just me, I love to make the things he doesn't like. I love pasta as the basis for a meal, or eggs. To him, pasta is boring and eggs are a breakfast dish. To me, either of those can make a most delicious and simple meal. Or I make toasted sandwiches with lots of sun-dried tomato and various cheeses.

Wow the food looks so apptizing.I also like to cook dishes for my family.Pasta with veggies and meat is a wise choice.But my brother prefers potato sandwich.And I often make some icecream on hot days.
