there's a new book called what we eat when we eat alone and it's by deborah madison and patrick mcfarlin. it makes the suggestion that what we eat when we eat alone is different than when we eat with others. (and there are recipes.)
i tend to agree, reminding you of this and this. and i am going to give away some more secrets. i am feeling honest and open this morning.
1. i also really enjoy chickpeas straight out of the can. why? it's gross. why don't i put them in a bowl at least? no idea.
2. potato chips (ruffled or crinkled) with ketchup. it's like french fries, people!
3. saltines, straight from the sleeve.
what do these things have in common? ease and salt.
a podcast from npr interviewed the author and illustrator. i learned that people eat many more disgusting things than me. thank god.
i want to know what you eat when you eat alone.

I eat tuna fish out of the can, sometimes. Chocolate syrup out of the bottle. Chocolate chips. Cheese melted on toast, or sometimes just microwaved cheese-toast. Chips and salsa while I stand up at the kitchen counter. Or I eat a ripe fruit over the kitchen sink.
mac and cheese out of a box. the gross kind, not the organic hippie kind. but really, i'll eat anything that's sitting around the kitchen and that hasn't gone bad. like a human garbage disposal.
cheese melted on toast sounds amazing.
