Personally I hate cooking for one. I either bulk produce stuff and freeze it to have with rice or pasta later or I eat out
My objection is the 25 minutes to prepare it, two minutes to eat it, 10 minutes to wash up afterwards. Funny thing is just cooking for one other person makes all the difference.
The only thing that has made me slightly revise my thinking is my recently purchased air fryer. That is so convenient and easy to wash up, it has replaced my BBQ as my go to cooker.
Well look at you.
That looks fabulous.
I’m not single but eat like I am
My husband and I eat so differently that I usually cook for myself and quite enjoy spoiling myself. I see you do also.
I meant dinner for one as it was just me. My young adult son lives with me and he made short work of it but he is pretty much on his own schedule. So we hardly ever share meals.
My air fryer is my absolute best kitchen appliance!
