I can't feed myself when FI is away

How did I turn chicken into rubber? :( 

FI has spoiled me with food that won't give me salmonella.. Only 3 more days til he's back and I can have real meals again.

  • If there was a spot that would deliver sushi, wine, and french fries to me I don't think I'd ever cook again. I could eat that every night.

    Agreed re: takeout.
  • The freezer section is my friend! Tyson any-tizers, Frozen egg rolls, dumplings. I eather boil water or I put them in the microwave. Presto an easy, fast meal that is filling.
  • FI is in the same boat as you. I had to get him a BBQ before I went out of town last summer just to ensure he'd eat at least once.

  • When DH is out of town I tend to eat salads, grilled cheese, spaghetti with red sauce and hard boiled eggs.    






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • I can cook, but I hate cooking for myself. I had so much fun trying new recipes and things when cooking for my fiance and I last year. When he went back to school this summer, I had a hard time going back to just cooking for myself. I just don't feel like putting the effort in...

    This is me exactly! I never cook for myself, but love cooking for FI. Also, i hate dishes, he does those when I cook for him. win-win.

    This is me as well.  I'm always more motivated to cook to make sure H is fed and has leftovers for lunch than to cook for myself.  That's why I have half a shelf in my pantry of boxed mac n' cheese, which is about as much effort as I can make myself go through for just me.
  • I am notoriously bad at feeding myself when I'm alone. I've taken to making a pot of rice and eating it either plain or with ginger-scallion sauce in it when FI isn't home for dinner. Luckily, I live down the street from my mom, so I now pop over there and raid her fridge when I can't be assed to feed myself. heh

  • I hate cooking just for me. I usually end up reheating leftovers when FI is gone. He refuses to eat leftovers anyway unless they have been incorporated into a new dish. Spoiled man!
  • I make a mean PB & J.....and ice cream out of the carton....does that count?
