I eat simply
As do I ... Also prefer living alone, which I've been doing since 1967. Also drive a Buick. Also am slow to enlist help with chores like painting, heavy lifting, etc. But I don't have to deal with firewood and bears, don't have a daily commute, and no longer drink beer, so apparently we're not totally compatible ... oh well .... :) But it's nice to know there's another happy loner out there, and I enjoy reading your daily journal here.
Back to eating simply, I exist with a microwave oven, George Foreman grill, cooktop range and occasional fast food. My oven hasn't worked in years, which thankfully precludes me from doing anything complicated in the way of cooking.
