Solo Suppers Beyond Cereal: Beans on Toast

My attachment to Coronation Street has been made quite clear.  Despite the fact that I tune out or fast forward the majority of each episode, I still need to know what’s happening with each character,  still need to be on top of who owns the Rover’s Return, and thus still need to make sure my...

Solo Suppers Beyond Cereal: The rest of the soba noodles

The anxiety that sets in on Sunday nights is a relic of grade school.  The call to the return of an early bedtime that once was “sit, Ubu, sit” is now the end credits song of one of many delicious HBO dramas.  It would be easy to continue free-for-all weekend eating with something rich to...

Dining companion:  April’s Bon Appetit For this sandwich, I … 1. Sauteed (one) sliced onion in a little olive oil...

In an attempt to spend more time on myself, cook more and thus, blog more, I bring you my first Solo Suppers Beyond Cereal.  Quick posts of the meals I decide to make myself instead of assembling a bowl of cereal.  Living alone just makes it too easy to be lazy.  Especially when the event...
