I knew I’d get called for actually cooking!
But are salt and lemon pepper actually “ingredients”? I mean, you just shake it on. Seasoning. If you count the garlic (open the jar, put some on the chicken), then that’s still only three ingredients – not more than three. 
And I did eat it over the stove out of the foil it was cooked in.
Bleh, too decadent!
Yesterday my dinner consisted of day-old cold pizza coated in butter. Oh, you wouldn’t imagine how good pizza tastes with butter spread on top! Next time I’ll try it with Crisco. YUM!
Lunch usually consists of macaroni and cheese with tuna, barbecue and hot sauce all mixed together. Very good stuff.
But Johnny, you bake a mean birthday cake! Especially that one two years ago!
And no, seasonings are not ingredients.
Hey, have you moved yet? If so, how did you score another local Trader Joe’s? Probably planned it that way!
Yes, I have a table. And a dinner party’s worth of fine china and antique silver place settings. And table linens galore, very little of which I would dare use when serving food, as it is all older than me. (Bring your own crystal.) So the setting of a mean table is not entirely beyond my resources, but I do regard it as too much work for one person.
Oh, I’m sorry, did you want to sit down? Well, let me stack up some pillows on my phone book for you. Don’t worry about me, I’ll sit on the couch…
EJsGirl: No, I haven’t moved yet. I’m still angling for a desk at our Bothel, WA office. Extremely slim chance, but I have a good job and I need to explore all of the possibilities before I leave. I did call Trader Joe’s last week. I told them they needed a store in Bellingham, WA. It’s the largest city between Everett and the Canadian border and home to Western Washington University. Good population base for their kind of store. The nearest one to Bellingham is in Everett, about 30 miles away. I’ve heard they pay fairly well, and people who work there say they like it. I wouldn’t mind chucking the computer job for a job where I could wear jeans every day!
So if anyone wants to ring Trader Joe’s and tell them they need a store in ZIP code 98225… 
Anyway, as long as I’m employed I thought I’d finish the restoration on the '66 MGB and pay for my new bike I got last Saturday.
Heh. That cake was pretty wacky.
You have a couch? I have an army-surplus air mattress, and a big pillow I’ve propped up against a box of Two-Buck Chuck.
ahhhhh… garbanzo Beans, God’s little protein pills!
Sounds like we could dine I note you’re in my same country! Wanna bite of condensed mushroom soup?
Now you’re talkin’ Gourmet! Ya actually have to have been to the grocery This Week to have tortillas! But grazing in front of the fridge, that’s Single Eating!
That should have been “That cake was pretty wacky.”
In true guy fashion, I tend to eat things until they’re gone. I had the chicken again tonight. And yes, I ate it out of the foil and over the stove. More for lunch tomorrow.
Sinshine kids not. Guess who cooked while I was visiting last summer?
When we were room-mates …mumblemumble… years ago, she lived on coffee, chocolate, and peanut butter. Mind you, she’s still thin, and my ass grew exponentially.
GingerOfTheNorth, as you are well aware, I have since eschewed peanut butter. And my repertoire whilst living under your stairs did include 3-minute noodles and kd.
In my own defense, I am a marvellous cook, when inspired. I am just a little difficult to inspire. Okay, lots difficult.
Speaking of inspiring though, my favourite dessert is still electric jello.
Johnny L.A., when you move to Washington, (Note the assumption! ) I will assist you in upgrading to Moroccan-style seating: two big pillows propped against …
okay, Canadian speaking here. What the h*ll is “Two Buck Chuck,” and if it’s ground beef, WHY are you using it as furniture? 
but Ginger, thanks for the compliment!!!
Here is where I make all the other bachelor’s lifestyles seem positively PALE by comparison… I moved into a house almost one year ago… It had no appliances in it… To this day it has two
Not even a microwave… 
Even the only refrigerator I own is at my store… Thats where I keep my condiments… There is another Foreman grill there too… Paper plates and plastic flatware… Don;t even need a dishwasher…
Sinshine: Actually, I think I’ll get a couch when I move to WA. (BTW: I’m toying with the idea of buying my fiend’s house in Birch Bay if he moves to Nanaimo.)
“Two-Buck Chuck” is the colloquial name for Charles Shaw wine. I think it’s made by Fetzer, who revived the label to dispose of their surplus grapes. It’s actually quite drinkable, and it only costs $1.98 for a 750ml bottle at Trader Joe’s.
Why bother even bringing the stuff home? Just eat at the grocery store.
Grocery stores don’t have TVs.
I’m proud that you FOLDED the foil and didn’t just toss it on the floor, next to the stove
I’m now married and have given up on some of the conveniences of the bachelor life, but I have a question for those of you who eat over the sink.
How do you watch TV while you eat there?
I have a kitchen with a window which looks into the den. With a TV in the den I can stand at the sink and watch TV through the window.
Enjoy,
Steven
The groceries frown upon true bachelor eating, which is at the stove or just outside the microwave, in your underwear. A fork makes a handy and effective butt scratcher.
They wouldn’t let me plug in the George Foreman Grill :rolleyes:
A fork?!? What kind of real Bachelor/Bachelorette uses Cutlery? Scoop it up with your bare hands and then get the Dog /Cat /Parakeet to lick them off.
