the instagram version of living alone is candlelit pasta and a glass of wine on tuesday. the reality is you make a real meal once a week and ration it for 4 days while eating cereal for the other 3.

ive been doing this 6 years. i cook well, i like cooking. but cooking from scratch every single night for one person is a job nobody talks about. the dishes alone. the planning. doing it for 30 minutes of eating.

batch cook sunday, eat the leftovers, cereal in between. its fine. its sustainable. stop pretending you make a fresh dinner every night, none of us believe you
