Cooking for One

I just finished the essay collection, "Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant" edited by Jenni Ferrari-Adler and half-way through the introduction I couldn't stop thinking about my eating habits when I eat dinner alone. I have to admit, like many of the authors I don't make a big fuss when I make dinner for myself anymore. More often than not I'll eat my favorite food, which requires no cooking, no real mess and certainly no time.
I'll make a tuna fish sandwich on toast. I like my tuna sandwiches plain. I don't add celery, or even cheese. I don't cut tomato or lettuce. I just open a can, mix in some mayo and throw it between two pieces of bread. It's my comfort food, it's my lazy food and it's definitely my eating alone food.
