Girl power

"How about we try to think about dinner more as a reward after a hard day of working and playing and less as a dutiful, it’s-coming-no-matter-what, final indignity." -www.dinneralovestory.com

Yes, I singlehandedly turned these horrors into something edible - hence today's title

Tuesday night, a Bible study friend recommended a book to me called "Fine China is for Single Women, too". The premise of the book is that single women should not put life on hold while they await marriage. Like many truths, this was something I knew, but the title put things into a new perspective for me. Unfortunately, now I want china. So, if you are thinking of buying a gift for me in the near future... ;-)

Later, I started thinking about nutrition. I often approach dinner at home as a bother. After all, it comes every night without fail. It also follows a long day of work when all a tired girl wants to do is hit the tatami with a good book or a movie. And honestly, who wants to spend a lot of time and botheration on something only one person is going to enjoy. And don't get me started on the perils of leftovers.

But, on the other side of the equation, what's wrong with preparing something for one person to enjoy? And we all have the same nutritional needs as anyone else - married or single.

So, tonight I'm going to make a real dinner. As for tomorrow, who knows what will happen. But tonight, I'll enjoy my dinner.
