Home Alone for Christmas!
I'm not talking about the movie nor am I looking for sympathy. ;-)
I'm going to be home alone* on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day**. My plan is to do little to nothing but be a lazy bum, take bubble baths and drink wine while watching movies/TV that my boyfriend*** doesn't like.
But what I'm struggling with, Serious Eaters, is the food! I don't want to do a lot of cooking, but I also want to have some yummy dishes to enjoy solo. I also DO NOT want to go out to eat - the more time I spend in my pajamas, the better!
I'm thinking of a shrimp pasta dish with some crusty bread for dinner one night and I'll make some fussy stuff for breakfast (I usually just wing it)...but I would love some other ideas! Maybe a "cook once, eat twice" plan? Anything easy and delicious, really.
Thanks!

* by choice! Trust me, I've had invites to do other things, but I don't want to run around - just want to relax.
** My family is having our holiday celebration the first weekend in January.
*** he's traveling from MN to Northern NY for Xmas with his family for a week. Work prevents me from doing the same. But I'm quite OK with that!
