Oatmeal. Not the instant stuff, so that it still feels like I'm, you know, -cooking- something over the stove. And I can add in all sorts of goodies, and still feel fairly healthy about it.

Cherry tomatoes. Nothing better than a sun-warmed tom fresh off the vine.

I don't know the name of the place ("Farm" is probably somehow involved), but if you drive west from Boston on Route 2, you start passing homemade ice cream shops, where a child-size serving is bigger than your head. And oh-my-god the German chocolate flavor.

I'm going to have to go with kosher salt. My boyfriend and I created a drinking game based around Alton Brown's Good Eats: every time he adds a pinch of KS to something - drink!

Pecan pie, without a doubt. And last Thanksgiving my mother made an excellent variation, pecan-pumpkin, that I think is a new tradition.

If I'm being a good girl, chicken or beef w/ stir fry veggies & Soy Vay Teriyaki sauce with basmati rice... if I'm eating whatever I want, it could be cereal, grits and eggs, cheese toast w/ some kind of soup or just ice cream. Yummy yum!

I am very fortunate to already own this fantastic book. If by random selection my comment is selected, please select another SE fan so they too can enjoy her book. Being single, it is rare NOT to eat alone. My most enjoyable meal is breakfast. The simple poached egg & oatmeal quietly eaten before I'm out the door to start my day.

I eat leftovers or something with cheese. My boyfriend has a cheese-phobia so when I'm alone it's always a good time for me to divulge my senses in all that is cheesy goodness =)

A few year's back, I tried Crescent Dragonwagon's recipe for Garlic Spaghetti. It's perfect for eating alone with a small salad or sliced tomato.
you don't really need a recipe, just fine-chopped garlic in butter and noodles with lots of cracked pepper
Thanks to her articles in Gourmet, I often make gingerbread, recipe courtesy of Laurie Colwin. It's delicious topped with lemon curd and I can usually find a chunk of it in the freezer, if it's not on the kitchen counter.

Breakfast for dinner: French toast is a favorite, as my husband isn't a fan. Scrambled eggs with sauteed mushrooms, some Canadian bacon or sausage, and hot buttered toast is also lovely.
