Single Diner Dinner

Occasionally, when his sales managers are in town, My Beloved has dinner out with them and I'm on my own to scrounge supper out of the fridge. I don't much like to cook when it's just me.

On a recent occasion, I considered and rejected poached eggs on toast, repurposed (love that word!) pork loin and plannedover turkey breast sandwich. All were fine, sure, why not, okay - but none were truly tempting.

Rummaging through the crisper drawer, I struck metaphorical gold - three celery sticks - the goldy-green ones that are near the center of the head.

Eureka! Slather a little super chunky peanut butter down the centers and you have a snacky dinner worth waxing literary about!

  2. I feel the only defense against metastatic corporate jargon is to use it ironically- or repurpose it, if you will.

  3. Cookiecrumb, actually a towel that a friend gave me, with a quote from "Pride and Prejudice." Don't ask me why it was to hand in the kitchen when I took the picture!

    Peter, brilliantly tongue-in-cheek. Love it!

  4. Vicki, I get more compliments on those plates than any others! Just caught up on your blog - glad the fires didn't reach you last month!

I love to get your comments. Answering them is nearly as much fun as writing the blog posts.
