I should say that there’s no uniform required at all, if so desired. . .

Just watch out where that hot chili drips! :eek:
I married badly once. But I divorced well.
BTW, my Mother is visiting us from Atlanta, so last night I cooked my famous jambalaya, this time with chicken and sausage, for Mom and wifey. Mmmmmmmm. And for dessert we had Breyer’s vanilla bean ice cream with Hershey’s hot fudge sauce over. The ladies also added some Smucker’s caramel sauce with theirs, but I, being a purist, just had extra hot fudge sauce.
BWAHHahahahahahahaha! 
Astroboy, listen to your old uncle Bumba, learn to cook. It is SO worth it, and fun besides.
I can’t help it. Hot dogs are gross! The texture… ugh!
My next whiny comment is why aren’t I allowed to do this? I’m a college student! I should be able to eat all sorts of easy food. Harumph.
Oh I forgot. My mom. She gets home and there better be a decent dinner on the table. So I cook real food. about once a week (ahem, tonight) I cheat and do a hambuger helper or some such but five or six nights a week I cook. Real food. To be eaten on plates I trade off washing. This sucks.
My staple foods are pizza and beer. I get my recommended daily amount of everything from a multivitamin and a powerbar.
Incidentally, the more I read about you and Astrogirl, the more the two of you remind me of myself and Ramoth. We ought to swap stories sometime, and see if there really is an enormous female comvention which plans these erratic things that women do, in order to drive us insane. I’m convinced there is.
Yea, I knew you’d say something…
It could be worse. I could put onions all over them. Bwahahaha!
I’ve had a bit of a cash shortage lately, so I’ve been living off of whatever’s in my cupboards rather than buying new, non-canned, un-dried food.
Do you know how long 20 bags of ramen noodles will last a person? Man, without them and the Costco bags of veggie burgers my boyfriend bought me, I’d be dead and my cat would have eaten me by now.
I can also throw together quick, tasty stuff involving pastina, cheese, and vegetarian “meat” crumbles. Except, you know, when the saucepans are both in the sink and I don’t feel like washing them. Then it’s more ramen noodles for Rosebud!
Hey! I’m a GOOD cook (I still ain’t challenging Java, though…)! I just need something to work with, that’s all…
You have lumpia?!? In your house?!? Now?!? Did you make them yourself? Can I have some? Do YOU want to get married? 
All I can add is Thank God for giving me a mother who owns a catering business! I get leftovers all the time.
my personal bachelor fave: Take a few white bratwursts, put them in the crock pot, cover with beer (I keep quarts of Busch in the fridge just for this). Cook on low for 8-10 hours and then brown on the grill. Enjoy with dark German rye bread, hot mustard, saurkraut(optional, imported if you can find it) and a real beer (Bitburger is my choice). It requires anticipating your dinner needs before you go to work, but the results are worth the effort.
Yes, Ramen is truly the food of the true bachelor. There are so many bachelor-appropraite things you can do with it, too. In descending order of stocked-ness:
[li]Ramen and meat (anything you’ve got left over)[/li][li]Ramen and fresh veggies (broccoli, mushrooms, string beans, bean sprouts, anything)[/li][li]Ramen and tofu[/li][li]Ramen and eggs (drop two slightly-mixed eggs into the pot containing 1 packet of ramen as the water boils, just after you add the flavor packet, and just before you consume it.)[/li][li]Ramen and cabbage (I ate this for dinner last night. Chop onions and cabbage, toss them in a pan with peanut oil and soy sauce right before the ramen finishes boiling, drain the noodles and throw them in the pan on top of the cabbage, cook for about another minute. Super cheap, super easy.)[/li][li]Ramen and water[/li][li]Ramen and Ramen. Dry. Sprinkle on the flavor packet to taste.[/li]
Welcome to my world…
I have to add the most bachelorish meal I’ve ever eaten … what’s sad is I live with my parents, who were home, but I
was hungry and it wasn’t a meal-time.
I cooked some chicken ramen, and chopped up hot dogs and put them in. Yes, chicken ramen and hot dog chunks. Mmm-mm
good.
Not only bachelor, but LUCKY BONUS EXTRA: white trash too!
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
No. But they’re very tasty indeed. They’re from Albertson’s “large, economy-size packages” freezer section.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Oh. When I cook, it’s usually something like beef roast, roast turkey with mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy; angel hair pasta with alfredo sauce (which I make) and chicken or mushroom, or angel hair pasta with olive oil/garlic/sun-dried tomatoes. I’ve made pizza from scratch. Biscuits and bacon gravy from scratch. Shortbread. Fried oysters (served with Tabasco®, natch!). Fried chicken. Chicken with garlic. Roasted chicken. Burgers. (Hey, I am a bachelour!) Chocolate chip cookies. Asparagus wrapped in ham slices with cream cheese. Plain old spaghetti with Prego sauce with ground beef and garlic. “Porcupine meatballs” – ground beef mixed with Rice-A-Roni, shaped into meatballs, cooked, and then simmered with the sauce. And yes, I like Shake’n’Bake pork chops (with mashed potatoes and home-made gravy). Italian sandwiches made with vegetarian sausage. Asparagus with home-made alfreado sauce. Angel hair pasta with aflredo and shrimp.
Not all at the same time.
But it’s no fun cooking alone, so what I usually eat is mac’n’cheese, ramen, Ritz crackers with tuna out of the can and sliced dill pickles, something frozen, pizza or something from take-out. Or broiled, poached or baked salmon or halibut with Brussels sprouts. Last night it was beanie-weenies, eaten out of the pan.
DAMN! I’m hungry again after reading all of the replies!
What do I have to eat in my house? Nothing… I haven’t gone to the store since I first posted this, and now it’s 1:10 AM, so nothing is open!:mad:
I suppose I should just go to bed, but I probably won’t…:rolleyes:
Pancakes for dinner are great, Astro! My mom used to make them all the time. Besides, it doesn’t really matter what you eat when. A pancake has the same stuff in in at night as it does in the morning.
Oh, and thanks for the dinner idea! I was wondering what I was going to make tonight…
Well, yeah, OK… they’re not bad… but the syrup just doesn’t go with cheap Korean beer!!
Let’s get in our wayback machine and go to 1993. Scene, my house, which I share with another bachelor. Both of us are eating machines, and both of us are starved.
Refrigerator: One gallon container of pickled hardboiled eggs. Two tins of King Oscar tinned oysters. Three or four slices of decidedly un-bread-like bread. Fifteen cartons of cigarrettes. (Hey, a guy has to have his priorities) One stick of butter.
Pantry: Two six packs of warm Leinenkugel’s Bock beer.
Wallet: Empty.
Roomate’s wallet: Empty.
Don’t EVER drink warm Liney’s Bock and eat pickled hardboiled eggs. I mean just don’t do it. This causes the kind of farts that as Carlin says, can end a marriage. I’m telling you, between the eggs, the bock beer, the oysters (fried in a little butter and placed on toast made from questionable bread) I have never had gas so bad in my adult life. At one time I placed a fan at the side of the bed blowing across to an open window (in january!!!) to evacuate some of the raw and unadulterated evil issuing forth from my sphincter. My roomate, and still my closest friend, had a similar evening. Upon awakening, he walked into my room, and punched me in the face. Compared to the farts, it was a welcome relief.

Billy Rubin, I was going to just let this thread die until I got to the last line of your post:
(bolding mine)
Dude! That’s the best laugh I’ve had all day!
Thanks!
I’m bumping this to give everyone else a chance to see it! Someone needs to grab this as a sig!
Beware of the same with grilled cheese sandwiches… I know from personal experience, and we’ll just leave it at that… 
Hey, I LIKE pancakes. I have been known to eat MICROWAVE pancakes for lunch with a full fridge and pantry.
My disgusting meal? A girl I knew in my college days said this disgusted her. I used to eat a package of 8 hotdogs for dinner, with appropriate sides. I only weighed 160. Ah, for that 19 y.o. metabolism…
