“When I was alone, I lived on eggplant, the stove-top cook’s
strongest ally. I fried it and stewed
it, and ate it crisp and sludgy, hot and cold.
It was cheap and filling and was delicious in all manner of strange
combinations. If any was left over I ate
it cold the next day on bread.
Dinner alone is one of life's pleasures. Certainly cooking for oneself reveals man at his weirdest. People life to you when you ask what they eat when they are alone. A salad, they tell you. But when you persist, they confess to peanut butter and bacon sandwiches deep fried and eaten with hot sauce, or spaghetti with butter and grape jam."-Laurie Colwin, "Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant"
