I'm weird and can fall asleep straight after coffee. I'm probably have a high caffiene tolerance though.

 

[purenarcotic]

Roasted red pepper and tomato soup.

 

[fishfinger]

Herring Bagels

 

[blairsh]

Chicken and chips

 

[moose]

A big tart made from puff pastry, pesto, sliced tomatoes and black olives.

 

[nogojones]

Tofuking paper tofu that I marinaded in chilli, ginger, garlic, soy, sesame oil and Worcester sauce then quickly deep fried with a vegetable chow mien.

the tofu was great, the first tofu I've made that I actually enjoyed. Will eat again, although I guess the deep frying bit can't be the healthiest way of eating it

 

[DotCommunist]

plain chow mein, lemon chicken and something in black bean sauce. Chinese takeaway

 

[iona]

Chicken and veg stir fry.

Almonds.

Ham and maybe eggs or veg if there is any.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Nachos, left over curry and BOOZE.

 

[cesare]

Red peppers, red chillis, red onions, courgettes, an aubergine, a bag of tatsoi and some chickpeas, with some couscous - just enough to soak up the juices. There's enough left for breakfast and lunch timoowow,

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Lamb curry. Got some frozen chunks of lamb that are defrosting, and will do that with a curry kit thing I've got in.

 

[BoatieBird]

Freezer foraged spag bol.

I've become rubbish at eating properly unless there's someone else with me. Last night it was 2 bowls of shreddies, a few fruit buns & a kiwi fruit. Really balanced Unsuprisingly, I don't feel that great today How do people who live alone motivate themselves to cook properly just for themselves? I really honestly can just not be bothered. Even though I know it's bad for me.

I would also like to know the answer to this (if there is one) as I also find it very difficult to muster up the will to cook well for myself. Sharing a meal with someone gives it so much more meaning that just eating alone.

When I was single, a few of us got together for our tea twice or three times a week. We'd take it in turns to cook, but because we were all busy, there was no obligation to hang around and socialise afterwards, it was just tea. Worked very well for several years.

Sounds good. I'm not single though (boyfriend just lives 2 hrs away). My friends also don't live locally & generally aren't single or work v different hours to me

That's a shame (the second bit, not the fact you're attached! )
It's really hard to be motivated for yourself - I'd live on toast and chocolate, left to my own devices.
I'd suggest meal planning... but it's bloody boring

Have you got a freezer?

 

[Hellsbells]

Yes. Its stocked with portions of homemade curry, stews & various veg sausages & fish etc. I just never feel like eating any of it by myself! It makes me feel lonely :-( All I ever feel like is bad, junk like, ultra comforting food. I've even got into the habit of quite liking feeling sick & bloated & lethargic.
Sorry - i realise I'm very difficult. I need to sort myself out!

Aha, I see. I was going to suggest cooking in bulk then freezing single sized portions for day to day convenience, but it would mean being motivated to eating them too
