What do you cook when you're home alone?:D
131 - 241?????
only joking.. Spag Bol,fish fingers, chicken nugets, (I have young kids). BBQ, waffles. Dont do much of the dinner cooking, but do make Jam of varioius flavours and have previously made preserves.
Most appropriate timing Bob. Tonight it was a sausage sizzle.:D Good opportunity to check out the bbq in readiness for Saturday's meet and greet.:DQuote:

I live alone, but I like food, so I cook what I feel like having; no discussion and no blasted "permissions":D
As it happens, I'm a much better cook that I am a woodworker :o - but am aiming to rectify that :rolleyes:.
Tonight it's just mustard grilled lamb chops, new potatoes and fresh spinach.:p
take it from a 13 yr old, Dominoes is 131888:DQuote:

Pasta Marinara Driverotti:-
King prawns, scallops, any good quality fish (baby snapper is excellent), mussels. The prawns, scallops and fish are seared and sealed quickly in a very small amount of oil and then, with the mussels, simmered in a sauce of tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil and chilli. The pasta (which can be spaghetti, fettucine or canelloni) is tossed through the sauce immediately before serving. To be enjoyed with a chilled reisling and crusty bread. Estupendo!

Tonight was left over apricot chicken drumsticksfrom last night, some nights is "quick n easy", other times its NADA, becasue I live alone (at the moment anyway) I cook what I feel like:rolleyes:

When I'm alone, it's reheats. Being a single Dad, tucker is rather important in this house, so I try to make a wee bit too much so that I can freeze a meal most nights. This gives me an edge on nights that the lad has soccer training or on nights when I'm alone.
Now, for a TRULY blokey meal, try this.
Fresh fillets of fish (caught yaself that very day of course) ...
boiled in baked beans ...
with a couple of eggs poached in the baked beans at the same time.
It looks as disgusting as it sounds but by cripes it is soooooo yummy, especially with a slab or two of home made bread.

hedonism is a way of life. Embrace that life and be damned with iggorant wimmen who think food has to have aesthetic appeal. :D
I just visit my local coffee shop(owner is a friend)and ask what's cookin!(get nice caffeine fix while Im there...)
As I cook 90% or more of the meals, for shmbo, daughters, son in laws, and grandsons I am usually cooking to someone elses tastes.
When I get a chance to just cook something just for myself it's usually penne pasta with blanched and fried tomatoes , heaps of fresh garlic from the garden , a little of my garden basil, and some fried hot salami or chizoro saussage. Complemented by a grand bottle of the stevens shriaz from tyrrells, followed by a couple of glasses of galway pipe.
Then a pint or two of milk

Love a good fry up myself...bacon, eggs, sausages, stinking greasy stuff from animals that my wife doesn't like being cooked inside the house, topped with fried tomatoes and onion, sliced potato...all on toast with Worstershire sauce!:D
YUM!
Sounded great Andy, until you got to the sauce.:eek: :eek: :eek:Quote:

No cat Wongo? Typo perhaps? :p
(You can get decent tofu? :eek: )
Just me, usually whatever is simple and quick. I don't worry about it.
If it's not just for me, then practically anything goes.
One thing I do make for myself occasionally is a local dish called niku-jaga. Direct translation is meat and potatoes.
Get some thin sliced beef (250gm), an onion, a couple potatoes, some cooking sake (or similar dry wine), some sweet sake (mirin if you need the right stuff) soy sauce and that's about it.
1/4 the spuds and cook them until they are just done, not squishy. Roughly slice the onions, and soften them in a little oil. Throw in the meat and crank up the heat.
Then add the sake, make sure it catches fire. Once it has died down, add some mirin, same trick. Once it's out, add some soy sauce. Looking for a little sauce in the pan, enough to cover everything plus a little extra. If there's not enough, add whichever liquid it seems to need. Add the spuds, make sure everything is covered in sauce, and serve with rice.
Takes less time to make than to bash in the recipe. Tastes pretty good too, which is why I don't mind making it for myself.
The usual stuff has more water added, all the starch from the spuds is in there and they often add sugar to it. It's a little dirty, bland and waaay too sweet for a main dish.
Warm chicken salad made with pieces of breast meat marinated in sambal oelek, dark soy, sesame oil, lemon juice and dry sherry then stir fried, served with a salad of lettuce, cucumber, tomato and fried potato cubes and topped woth sesame seeds or fried shallots, or if we are in a hurry a simple salad made from layers of cos lettuce, celery, cucumber, red pepper, kidney beans, grated cheese topped with salsa then avocado slices, sour cream and topped with crushed corn chips.
Daddles, I like your wierd mix.
I either get myself a kebab or make up one of those pasta packets and throw in some extras such as cheese, egg, shallots, tomato, any left over roast meat....
Cheers

Usually cook whatever I'm told to, serves me right for showing off early in the relationship. :o
SWMBO is out "shopping" with a friend and what am I doing, cooking the bloody bread. Latest sourdough loaf below.
On the very rare occasions that I'm alone at a mealtime, I like it simple. For a brunch, my Jenny Craig special: big aged sirloin, yesterday's spuds sliced and browned crispy in butter with salt, fresh tomato sliced in half and heated on the hotplate. Free run eggs, and I'm home. Oh, a pint of whatever my favourite beer is at the time, a warm sunny spot, and after the weekend paper and strong flat white from the Malitta. Ole.
Termite is that make of pine or oak?:D
Bakebeans on toast... yum.
