- - single bachelor food (http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=4225)

Canned Salmon/ Kipper Snacks/ Sardines + good Salsa + wheat bread. Cooking time: 8.2 seconds.

Ramen noodles ($.19/pack at Shoppers, btw :) + roast beef from deli counter. Cooking time: 12 minutes. Watch the sodium, tho.

Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Total (2 for $5.00 at Giant w/ bonus card) + 2% milk.

Keep deli meat and bread handy and some good Knoor bullion or soup mix.

19 bean soup mix + good keilbasa in crock pot (if you have one). Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

General hints:
Don't buy meat unless you are going to cook it that night.
Nothing frozen is acceptable for a true bachelor lifestyle. :)

Beer. Lots of beer.

Beer, nachos, frozen pizza, pork rinds, ramen and sandwiches. YUM

How about roast duck in a raspberry reduction sauce?

Coupled with wild rice pilaf topped with fresh mango salsa?

Quiche lorraine in an "impossible" crust, lobster and crab bisque, a fresh spinach salad with seared scallops?

Can't forget a homemade sorbet or tiramisu for dessert.

Poison to me, dude.

.13/pack at the Commissary and RB is $4.99/lb. I do not care about sodium.

I prefer the raisin Total personally. Cinnamon causes gastric distress for me. And I go with WHLE milk...I'm an AMERICAN fer goshsakes!

Done...I agree that soup and a sandwich is king of easy meals. But I go with Progresso or Campbell's Chunky personally.

19 bean soup mix + good keilbasa in crock pot (if you have one). Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

If I were to indulge in this particular taste treat, I could start my own natural gas farm.

I only have a freezer big enough for a box of water ice and a few ice cubes. So no sweat there.

Beer. Lots of beer.

I will go with WalMart soda there, but a ix pack for treats is fine there. And some wine too. And vodka. And Scotch (20+ year old)
Sheesh, I should just open a bar...

I like how this man thinks, but it's just too much work for one meal and leftovers lose so much flavor...

And I was thinking more along the lines of chicken breast stuffed with an apple stuffing and brie cheese myself.

You want a quick, easy chicken casseroleish dish?

Grease the bottom of a baking pan.

Four to six chicken breasts in the bottom.

Mix up one box of stove top stuffing with cold water. Helps if it's a little wet n soupy.

One can of cream of mushroom soup (or any kind of cream of soup) poured over the whole thing (use milk to extend, if needed).

Bake for 25 min, or until the chicken's cooked. Fabulous eating.

20+ year old scotch? I'll be right over.

You want BK or Taco Hell with that?

either. I do chicken sammiches at BK and soft tacos at TH.

Dagney and I will be there Saturday afternoon and evening (leave us alone at night pls. Ahem) I will be there most of the time after that but she goes home Sunday evening.

I used to go away for 5 days at a time and my Boyfriend used to act so proud at the way he took care o himself for 5 whole days he cooked, washed up the dishes.... until i took out some rubbish and spotted 5 empty dominos pizza boxes in the Otto Bin!

And then you have to sleep next to the result of this!! :rolleyes:
