The For-Two Syndrome
In my busy Chicago days (don't get me wrong; I'm busy because of work these days, not play), I rarely get the chance to cook a hearty meal at home. So, I usually have to either eat out or buy something ready-to-cook. After a few weeks of this regime, what I realized is that almost everything pre-cooked comes for couples! Bread-crusted salmon and leek quiche (for two...), Bertolli's roasted chicken and linguine (for two.....), Giordano's famous Chicago pizza for delivery (for freaking two................!!!). I'm already single and these for-two meals aren't helping me as I get to eat double portions every dinner! How is that supposed to help me end my spinster ways? You tell me.

Ahhh! You just don't know the ways of brewaking this cycle.. Here is what you do: You find a cute little thing on the train, bus, street, supermarket, etc. Then you ask them if they wanna join you for a read-to-cook meal, for two! There is your answer.. you'll eat less and will eat with someone, and hopefully you'll get to have some dessert too!! ;)
ReplyDeleteOzlem, I tried your suggestion tonight when I was working out at the gym and I got really weird looks... Especially my personal trainer may not talk to me again.
