Im not used, to cooking for, one

[usonian]

4. I've been cooking for one for almost 10 years, and it never makes sense.

I'm still experimenting. Packages at stores all seem too large, so if something can't be frozen, some of it spoils, unless I want the same thing 4 times a week, it seems.

My favorite stores (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Sprouts) are 50 miles away, which totally negates the idea of "just in time" shopping, which might help. I plan to move to a place with stores, the V.A. and so on.

The latest experiment (today) involves making a lot of chicken soup in the slow cooker, since I never seem to tire of chicken soup.

I used to cook often for three, then my daughter went to college, and then I got divorced, so back to bachelor cook.

Good luck. I got some advice here previously and I hope that you get some good advice.

My problem is that I learned to cook from my Italian Mom, and it's really hard to scale down from "abbondanza" cooking.

It gets really tough around holidays, because I know how to make many of the holiday treats. Just so far from everyone else.

Working on the cure.
