@PerkyMac I agree Duffield's is good but Zimmermans Farm on Salina Road is much better. There is nothing like getting corn still warm from the field to eat a couple hours later. It's so sweet and perfect.

Cassaendra, thanks for that "ROFL" moment on such a gray day.XD

If I am eating by myself, I almost always make a meal that involves sauteed onion, green bell pepper and mushrooms. Whether I combine that with baked chicken breast or in a half-assed frittata is generally the only thing I have to make a decision about. I usually use goat cheese as a nice addition, and use sriracha as a condiment.

toast or crackers, easy over egg, with spaghetti sauce and cheese.
tomato eggs and rice
mmmm life of a college student

this week i've made mario's pasta pomodoro twice in a row and would have made it again last night but i got home late and had an unexpected visitor.

it's so wonderful: saute some chopped garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes until they're brown in the inevitable EVOO, then add a handful of halved sungold cherry tomatoes and stir it around for a minute. add a handful of chopped basil. throw it on top of some noodles along with some grated parmesan.

if i don't eat an enormous salad before i sit down to this, forget about it... i'll eat until i'm coma

Dinners alone usually give me a chance to cook all the things my boyfriend hates. I once ate an entire pan of roasted brussells sprouts for dinner. Other delicious meals have included a big bowl of mussels in white wine and garlic broth, pasta puttanesca (capers AND anchovies---heavenly!), and the occasional container of cottage cheese.

Still, the ultimate dinner for one is a fat heirloom tomato, a ball of burrata cheese, and a crusty chunk of bread, with lots of olive oil and a little bit of salt. Luckily, the boyfriend agrees with me on this one, so I don't have to wait for a night alone to eat it!

Jello? okay BUT......as vodka shooters!!!! I like poultry and pork only (except at times ham if it is too salty). My dislikes are red meat (I don't know why), organ meats, and anything gamey, but love blood sausage, headcheese, pepperoni, smoked sausage bolona, thuringer ect. Dislike all fish (except smoked salmon I like). I dislike oysters (except smoked in stuffing or once in awhile on pizza), clams and mussels. But I like scallops, shrimp, crab and lobster. I love all sorts of salsas (heat rules) but dislike the sharpness in horseradish sauce or wasabi. I dislike any raw tomatos, but love tomatos IF cooked. As for pastry I dislike bearclaws and fruitcake. Dairy I pretty much love everything. Fruits (except tomatos) I like everything. Veggies love all. Love all breads. Legumes, pastas and rice I like in small doses. As far as a certain country fare, nope I like it all, but my favorite would have to be Mexican with Vietnamese or Indian close behind. Least favorite, any country where the majority of their dishes are bland. Let you leave that up to y'all's imagination lol.

Usually I'll have eggs of some sort if I feel like cooking. Been very partial to Nigella's Masala Omelet (from Nigella Bites, I think).

If I don't feel like cooking, it's usually bread and cheese.

Boil in water until crisp but tender. No butter, no salt. It is sweet perfection just the way it is.

I really don't like butter on my corn (greasy and messy)...or salty corn for that matter. Corn was intended to be sweet!

1 - Pepperoni Dijorno pizza with fresh, sliced mushrooms and grated cheddar cheese on top which is broiled at the end

2 - Egg noodles, parm cheese, butter and black pepper

3 - Plain white rice with butter and salt

I miss living in st louis as right down the block there was a bagal shop where they were DIVINE. they made all kinds of cream cheese and were so good. i moved away 5 yrs ago and still talk about it. I don't have a single bagel shop in the podunck town i live in now. but i have been thinking of trying to make my own but i haven't worked up the nerve.

Hartman's Bakery in northwest Baltimore. Crispy on the outside and soft and squishy on the inside. And to tell you the truth, I haven't had a bagel like it since they closed in 1969! And while we're on the subject does anyone bake onion bagels with real carmelized onion anymore? I've said it before and I'll say it again. Nothing has been bastardized in the last 20 years like bagels!!!
