home alone
that should have been my mug-shot.
because the wife & kids have gone to penang today & i'm home alone. it's surreal & a tad eerie to come back to an empty house. wasn't it cole porter who wrote,"a house is not a home when you're not in it"?
with no maid, i can imagine the meals around here to rotate between this....
...and this....
...with a good measure of junk food thrown in...
no matter. for dinner tonite, i thought i'd come up with something a bit more "elaborate". managed to scavenge these from the kitchen...
...& transformed them to this....
...tuna with onions in mayonnaise on lightly-toasted bread...
bon appetit!

Okay ... That is what I usually eat when I'm lazy! So, bon appetit!
:P
or you can always order pizza with buffalo wings :)
kyels,
what a contrast!
if this is what i prepare when i'm "imaginative", you can guess what's for dinner when i'm lazy!!??
ah, alex!
thks for the tip but the thing about pizza is that you have to share it for the meal to be enjoyable & meaningful. i think i'll pass this one till the kids are back.
or, maybe i'll just have the buffalo wings.
I take it that Mrs Doc didn't leave any frozen dinners for you. :p
jems,
frozen food? nah...i can get nice hawker food just down the road.
& McD is just round the corner.
If Jamie Oliver can cook, I am sure you can do better than that!!!
iml,
ha ha, easier said than done, but not impossible.
Hi Doc!
What a striking resemblance to the kind of grub I feed myself when I'm home alone. When I'm feeling a little motivated I'd just throw in the extra smoothie. They didn't teach culinary 101 in med school :D
hi fibrate,
we are all creatures of habit - we stick to tried-and-tested familiar stuff.
they needn't teach us culinary skills - we mastered our own!!
Ah ... I think it has to do with the men - the coming home to a empty house part :) It is after all not good for man to be alone. LOL.
The food thing - it is really what is more important to you. Food or convenience, food or company, food or time, etc ... and now with the petrol price increase, food or money :(
hi pearlie,
i speak for myself that having some time alone can be very therapeutic.
naturally, having all 3 - convenience, company & time - would be ideal. & now with increased fuel price & it's consequences, we'll be eating a lot more at home.
