Ok, you know that I love food right? And you probably know that I share a lot of what we eat on Junglefrog Cooking too… What I tend to not share are all the not so good food choices I make. No one wants to know those anyway right? But I have a confession to make; I do not eat perfectly cooked meals every single night of the week. And even though I LOVE cooking there are plenty of days when I just can’t be bothered.
Junk food!
Today is such a day. It does happen quite often when Tom is not home for dinner. Not that he expects me to cook every single day, he likes to cook himself too, but somehow it makes more sense to come up with a proper meal when there are two people to feed instead of just the one. Don’t you agree? Slaving away in the kitchen is relaxing and great fun but I love sharing my food too.
And knowing that it’s just gonna be you on that couch in front of the tv, is somehow not very motivating. So I haven’t even gone downstairs yet. I am hiding behind my computer, delaying the decision if I am gonna be good and make some proper meal for myself or just bake an egg and put it on toast. That is not too bad anyway I think. It could be a lot worse!
Or would you go for fries?
Do you do that? Do you eat bad meals when you’re alone or are you always a good girl or boy? And mind you, this is not about not having anything decent in the fridge. I know for a fact that there is a very healthy soup leftover from yesterday which I could very well eat. But I always feel like eating something bad when I’m alone. One more habit to break I guess!
I cook every single day… It is a habbit. If I don’t cook I feel that I’m missing something in my daiyly routine.
Yes, well I guess I should look more at you then..
I wish I could say it is my routine and well, ofcourse I eat normal and cook normal most days of the week! (does that count? 
haha Simone I’m like you!! aside from a weakness for cookies and mayonnaise – except on fries (there my French side comes through I eat my fries with mustard!) I make some comfort food I love when I am alone: grilled cheese with a side of mayonnaise, or yesterday: pasta with tons of cheese butter and truffle oil – just for me!!! then cheeseballs and peanuts in front of the TV. It felt so good to be BAD!!
Oooo that even makes me hungry just thinking about it! Except for the mustard on fries. Now that’s not my idea of good fries.. Lol… Very Dutch to have mayonnaise on them..
Since I’m alone I only try to cook on Wednesday (my day off) and on weekends a decent meal. The rest of the week I do not feel like it nor have the time. If you’re home at six thirty in the evening and then have to cook … no thanks. I treat myself on a plate of risotto (put everything in the pan and after 18 minutes I can eat in front of the tv), fries on Thursday (when I have to go to my photography course), sometimes a pizza and I always have homemade meals in the freezer. When I read this, it is really not that bad. But in the afternoon when I am at home, it’s a different story! Then the salads and melted cheese with bread (Yammie) are on the table.
It’s hard isn’t it sometimes.. ? But you’re right, it doesn’t sound all that bad too me!
I rarely cook for just myself. I enjoy cooking but somehow it’s just not much fun to eat it by yourself! I usually eat something non-traditional if my husband is not home.
