Boilin'

Tonight I'm going to boil some eggs. God help us.

So, month without pizza was easier than expected. Month without restaurants is not only challenging, it's a little depressing. Buying tons of groceries was fun, until this morning when I threw half of them away since they rotted. It's hard to buy groceries for one.

I'm going to tell you, I ate a pre-made salad at Einsteins on Sunday. I think this technically counts as cheating, although you can buy a premade salad in a grocery store. And on Feb 1 I ate a bagel at Ennui with Kelly. So, I've cheated twice. Kinda.

However, those cheats, I think, get cancelled by the fact that I was at my friends party on Saturday and he decided to order 457345 of the most delicious looking pizzas you have ever laid your eyes on. And while I creepily hovered over them, I did not eat a single slice. (I did shove a giant cookie in my mouth to keep from going crazy though.)

19 more days. I hate it. This is for sure the hardest month.

ok - now I know you think you can't do this, but . . .

what you need to do is make your self a large-ish pot of something you like. Pasta with sauce or chili or whatever. At least our to five servings. Then you split it up into serving-sized to-go like containers and you have a quick-fix meal for up to five days. Totally makes lack of restaurant not so daunting.

julie is totally right. make a big pot of somethin' like soup...and then you've got food for a couple o' days. OR...you can shop each day...since it's just you...you can go one day at a time...salad in a bag is totally not cheating. food is annoying when you have to cook it because...well...you have to cook it.
