Eating fresh food alone

[mtbc]

Some fresh foods, ranging from milk to premade chicken salad, are enough even in their smaller sizes that, by buying them, and being their sole consumer, they constrain my meals for some days thereafter, so as not to waste any. From that point of view, it's been interesting to manage my cooking and eating. Just a half-gallon of milk lasts me more than a week. Onion I shall eat tomorrow is the other half of one I cut on Sunday.

Items can be quite conveniently both divisible and freezable. For example, today I ate a slice of banana nut bread: I'd originally bought a fair few, divided then froze them, today's came from the last thawed batch. I also have some burger buns in the freezer, I don't expect to thaw them in more than pairs. It all requires a little advance planning.

It is much harder to cook for one! And buying groceries for one is a pain in the butt. When Pat goes on one of his hiking or mountain climbing adventures, I find that I end up living on stupid things like protein bars because it's just too damn much trouble to figure it all out.

Ha, yes. Fresh leafy stuff is the worst, there's no point my buying a bag of leaf spinach or a head of lettuce or suchlike, I'll get only partway through them.
