Waldo's Guide to Being a Singular Sensation

PearlsNLace · 11-12-2009, 10:35 AM

I tend to be a person who worries way to much about what other people are thinking, but that has never stopped me from dining out alone. I simply enjoy dining out more with others. I have enjoyed a very lovely meal with someone who was "spanging" asking for change one evening outside a place I was about to go in to dine alone.

What I do not care for is cooking at home, alone. I am the queen of tupperware and freezing stuff. However, I dont really enjoy even the eating part, alone. I would love to hear some ways to do so more sensationaly.

A Pearl, in lace.

PnL, you have hit on one of my favorite subjects.

When you cook for yourself, set the table too. Have a little glass of wine (if you drink). Pour your drink into a glass. Do NOT stand up and eat over the sink.

I love to cook and have a ton of things that can be modified to one person. Or you can make a large meal and freeze it up for later.

We have a cooking thread in the Hobbies forum..

Exactly, Arwen!

You're special, so act like it. Romance yourself. I always feel better about myself when I treat myself like I treat others, no matter my relationship status.

I would, however, like to point out that one does not have to be singular to be sensational. Me, myself and I all agree!

I do not cook at home alone like I do when coupled, I do exercise my cooking bone when I visit friends.

Cooking for myself is not as much fun, I am all about feeding people. Not so much myself.

evolveme · 11-12-2009, 01:34 PM

I wish I could eat alone.

I hate the way they stare at you.

Expecting something.

Maybe The Bent because he needs to wear his glasses and doesn't, but I seriously doubt that The Child and The Animals care too much about my hot factor.

But thank you, Waldo. I luv you too.

Just_G · 11-12-2009, 02:46 PM

Singular, yes. Sensational, eh, not so much.

I am so used to eating alone, but I dont' really mind it at all. Heck, even when I am coupled, it is usually a LDR and I eat alone most nights any way.

My favorite thing to do is argue with myself and fight over the check at the table when out in public. Of course I am usually seated in the bar area because it just works better for me to be close to the bartender. That is a whole other thread there.

I missed the cooking gene. I don't cook at all. I can heat things, like in the micro or toaster oven, but I hate trying to cook. It feels weird and unnatural for me. Plenty of people have tried to teach me, but it just doesn't take. So, my bachelor life consists of things you buy that you can heat at home and eat.

I was exactly like you until I met an Executive Chef from North carolina. She taught be to cook over the phone and gave me delicious recipes as well as planned all my grocery shopping. Now i love to cook, even for myself.
