It is <I>impossible</I> to cook in 1 person meal quanta.<BR/><BR/>2. <BR/>> on't you get tired of earting <BR/>> the same thing over and over <BR/>> again? i did.<BR/><BR/>I normally never 'eart' the same thing over and over again, if I can help it. I am not quite sure what it means to 'eart' something. Is it good?<BR/><BR/>Hee hee.<BR/><BR/>However: I have been frequently known to be eating the same thing on Thursday that emanated from the kitchen on Sunday. There is no shame in this. 90% of the time, the hassle of the cooking > the pain of the earting.<BR/><BR/>3. The question of maintaining a single person fridge full of perishables is of vital importance. The Single Person Cold Storage Supply Chain. I am writing a monograph on the subject.Ludwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03710107146505111876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28464200.post-52953847478571363202008-03-02T13:31:00.000+05:302008-03-02T13:31:00.000+05:30lekhni, dipali, rahul: yes, fridge; yes, cook and ...lekhni, dipali, rahul: yes, fridge; yes, cook and eat for two-three meals. but that's terrible! don't you get tired of earting the same thing over and over again? i did.<BR/><BR/>also this fridge thing. i found that i'd buy more veggies than i needed, strictly speaking, and throw them out once they'd shrivelled into some yucky looking thing. or give away the rest of the stuff i'd cooked once i'd tired of eating it more than twice.<BR/><BR/>the thing is, food for singles is often tedious to cook and difficult to buy in small enough quantities. it's also just too much effort. which is a pity, no? i'd imagine a blog that makes the process fun, easy and inventive must have an audience.Space Barhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08251329008160756254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28464200.post-28426748917862183702008-03-02T12:05:00.000+05:302008-03-02T12:05:00.000+05:30These days, at quite a few shops in Chennai, it is...These days, at quite a few shops in Chennai, it is possible to buy small numbers of tomatoes etc by weight (eg, 139 gms). But of course the quality is usually better at the subziwala.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, with a good fridge you don't have to consume the veggies the same day <BR/>-- they stay a week, if you don't suffer extended power cuts and don't leave the fridge open for minutes at a time while transporting things in and out. I never leave the fridge open for more than a few seconds. <BR/><BR/>When I was single I used to eat what I cooked for 2-3 days. As lekhni says, what's wrong with that? Even better, stagger the cooking so that you cook one dish every day, but it stays for 2-3 days: every day you get a slightly different 3-item meal, at least part of it fresh.Rahul Siddharthanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04809667965184094636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28464200.post-2383802169181348952008-03-02T12:03:00.000+05:302008-03-02T12:03:00.000+05:30Cling film covered cut fruit and vegetables do sta...Cling film covered cut fruit and vegetables do stay quite fresh in the fridge for a longer time than if the cut surfaces are left exposed.dipalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01070862196307376073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28464200.post-53660139297933003712008-03-02T11:18:00.000+05:302008-03-02T11:18:00.000+05:30I personally believe that the fridge and freezer a...I personally believe that the fridge and freezer are very useful inventions, which make left-overs into a desirable commodity.<BR/>I do use a tiny, one litre pressure cooker to make as small a quantity as possible of the few veggies that my father is able to eat. But we still generate some left-overs. A great way of recycling is to knead<BR/>leftover dals and vegetables with atta, add a little salt and spices, and make yummy, nutritious paratha or chapathis. (As each of my kids left the nest, I really had to train myself to cook smaller and smaller quantities0. And raw veggies survive in the fridge for a few days. I've seen cut cabbages being sold in both Chennai and Kolkata, but at local vendors,not in supermarkets.dipalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01070862196307376073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28464200.post-75065162426715457282008-03-02T10:55:00.000+05:302008-03-02T10:55:00.000+05:30Maybe- freeze unused vegetables- buy veggies with ...Maybe<BR/>- freeze unused vegetables<BR/>- buy veggies with other single friends (so two people can buy a cabbage)<BR/>- throw away leftovers<BR/><BR/>Although, I can never understand why anyone would <I> not </I> love the idea of being able to cook for 3 meals at a time :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
