Good day.

Hello vickycity, I love to cook for my family. I didn't know how to cook when I was still single as I have many elder sisters to do the chore. But, after getting married, I learned slowly how to cook. I always prefer to cook rather than buying from outside and if there is no one at home, I still cook if I feel like cooking but just a simple dish for myself.

When I was single I ate meals for "single" servings like sandwiches and fruit. However, when I had the money and the time I'd make a big batch of crab salad or chicken noodle soup and live off that for several days.

hi vickycity, my dear friend, i am the only cook in my house but the only difference between you and me is that i am married and you are still a bachelor. but when i used to live alone also i use to have a get together at my place and use to enjoy a lot. i use to cook for everyone and i enjoy cookinga lot. if i am allalone i feel a little bore but when there is just me and nobody , i have to cook. i cant starve all day and all time waiting for someone to come and feed me.

Hey there...it's good to cook and eat homecook food as they are more nutritious and healthy. I am married now and I do cook at home for my husband and myself. We eat at home most of the times. Before I got married I was living in a rented room. The owner did allow cooking but I did not really cook proper meals as it was kinda hard living in other people's house. You know although they say I can use the kitchen but I think it was just lip service. So all I did cook was instant noodles topped with egg, nuggets and sausages and vege. but i am happy now as I have my own apartment so I cook. Just cooked spaghetti...yum !!! Oh coming to the part if I feel lonely, no I don't cos in the rented room i would normally eat the instant noodle or the Take away food on my study table reading a book at the same time. But those were the days before I met my husband to be.

Cooking for yourself and eating alone can be fun! First of all, you can fix whatever you are in the mood for and you don't have to worry about what anyone else wants, likes, dislikes, etc. If it doesn't turn out so good, there's no one to complain. You either eat it or toss it and fix something else. No one will care. You can eat at the table, or on the couch, or in bed if that's what you want to do. You can eat with your fingers, be sloppy, smack your lips, belch or fart. There's no one to impress with your manners. When you do have the opportunity to eat with someone else, you can really appreciate it and practice your good manners, of course!

i sometimes cook while i'm alone, i feel more relax when i am cooking for myself or for just two persons than when i am cooking for a large number of people. i enjoy cooking and when i cook for my self its the time for me to experiment and try recipes out.

If I can help it, I really do not like to eat alone. In fact, I eat better when I have company. I don't cook when I have to eat alone. I usually just bring home cooked food from restaurants or fast foods. If I am ever up to it, I will prepare a sandwich for myself and some salad. For me, half the joy of cooking is seeing people enjoy what you have prepared for them that is why if there would be no one to enjoy my cooking but me, I don't like to cook.

No, I cook for people, for a romantic dinner, but when I'm alone, I eat at a fast food.

when my family goes out sometimes and i stay at home, i sometimes either order something to eat, or go out with friends to mcdonalds or something. If i cant do that then i cook something for myself what i can cook, or even eat cereal lol. But that hardly ever happens as im not always on my own lol
