What do you cook when you are the only one eating?

I keep portioned pre-cooked beans in the freezer. A single serving size thaws quickly in cool water. Cook rice, make beans according to your tastes, incorporating whatever veggies you have on hand (use bacon also, duh), and presto, you've eaten well but spent almost nothing, cleanup is minimal, and the variations are literally endless so boredom is not an option!

I'll confirm if you post a picture of yourself.

I generally start with a Chardonnay, the a Zin and finish with a Cab. For dessert a port or sauterne. if my wife is home I cook food...

pasta with butter or oil and freshly grated parm. Grilled sourdough grilled cheese with Beechers Flagship. If I'm really tired Neil's Yard Stilton and a good red wine.

A similar question could be, "what are the techniques you use when you are the only one eating?"

30-minute scrambled eggs cooked in butter all over jasmine rice.

When my wife is away, I almost always make pasta all'Amatriciana; I could eat that dish constantly. I'm also fond of gussied up instant ramen. But right now, I'm all about McRibs, so very little cooking gets done.

For me it is usually going to be some variant of starch + beans + eggs. If I have leftover rice, it will be a ghetto bibimbap. If I have leftover pasta, something along the lines of carbonara. Otherwise I always have corn tortillas so then chilaquiles become an option.

If the wife and daughter are away, and it is a regular dinner alone with some planning time, almost always...steak on the grill (skirt or porterhouse), salsa verde, sauteed spinach, roasted potato... if it is a late meal alone because I was working late, almost always a pasta dish.

Duck confit. With my growing use of sous vide and a local purveyor, I always have homemade duck confit in the fridge.

It depends if it is after a long day of work and if that is the case I usually pull something out of the freezer or grab something on the way home. If it is my day off I usually try to get a little creative and do things I cant find around here like a nice gumbo or play around with my immersion circulator. But sometimes you just have to bust out the classic comfort foods you grew up with!
