In a word, cooking for one sucks. Not my cooking itself, but the fact that it’s almost impossible to buy ingredients in single-serving quantities (also, it’s not very economically, but that’s not the point of this post). For example, if I feel like eating spaghetti (or any type of pasta for that matter), even when buying the smallest sizes/packages of noodles, sauce, & all the other ingredients, I end up having enough left over for lunch & dinner for at least the next 2 days. By then, I’m totally sick of it and don’t want to make it again for quite a while.
Really, someone needs to make the anti-Costco. Instead of buying things in big quantities, quantities bigger than what you find in a regular supermarket, the anti-Costco would sell stuff in small, single-serving quantities, typically smaller than what you’d normally find in supermarkets. It would make cooking-for-one so much easier. No more leftovers, no more getting tired of even your favorite foods. Just enough for one meal, then you’re done with it. Is that really too much to ask for?
