PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"RE: OTCC: Stuffed Chiles in Two Sauces and Calabacitas" Posted by Seana on 03-21-10 at 09:46 AM

I scale the recipes down. I've gotten pretty good at it over the years. *wry smile* It was easy enough with the Pad Thai. With MC's pork chops, I made both the chops, but only enough sauce for me. For the soups, I half or quarter the recipes. Buggy's meatball soup is really easy to make enough for one and it's quick, so it doesn't take any longer than any other meal. And I made a whole bunch of rice meatballs and froze them, so it's that much easier.I hear what you're saying about just cooking for yourself and wondering if it's worth the effort - it is! Also, you're entitled to pick up ingredients at the store that only you will be eating. I just figured that one out in the last couple years. No more guilt about buying something just for me! I have to go back and make a couple things that I didn't before, like the Azorean stew. I had asked DH if he would try it and he got all pissy, so I didn't bother. I think I could do a smaller version in a Corningware dish in the oven instead of using the slow-cooker. But yeah, I feel a bit alone sometimes.
