Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Glad you're okay, Maria! Update when you can.

I have to keep easy-to-make meals around because I am so bad at feeding myself most of the time. Canned soup, tuna salad, chicken salad, frittatas, frozen microwavable dinners, easy sandwich stuff.

I pretty much ate bagels and cream cheese and cheerios with milk every day when I lived alone.

Handful of grated cheese and some olives from a jar that's been living on the refrigerator door = charcuterie plate.

In all fairness, my therapist told me I can't consider that a meal. I told her that Aldi has pre-shredded gouda and gruyere and that's pretty damn fancy. She said it still wasn't a meal, but if I would melt the cheese on an English muffin I'd be getting closer to a meal.

Damn, that sounds good.

Sounds like a meal to me. I've eaten a can of olives by itself as a meal recently and was perfectly satisfied.

Possibly my judgment in this area is suspect.

Now that I have assembled dinner and started it cooking it will apparently never finish. Cruel fate toys with me.

Praise be, the end is sight. Half an hour, I can hang on that long....

If you put cheese, nuts and fruit on a plate you are certified FANCY.

Whole Foods and Trader Joe's both have pre-made meals you can just heat up for lunch.
