"Just for Me"

Chicken Cacciatore?
No recipe - but delicious memories
Just tomato sauce from
Last night’s recipe for spaghetti
Lovely chicken thighs from the freezer
And carrots, potatoes, onions…….

In the days of raising kids and a busy life
There would have been little thought
Throw them together and set the table.
Sit down, eat and get on to the next part of life.

In these days of singleness and career
when confidence in creative cooking
sometimes wanes 
‘cooking just for me?!’
Taste ‘just for me?!’
comes calling ‘Just for Me.’

“No one who cooks, cooks alone. Even at her most solitary, a cook 
in the kitchen is surrounded by generations of cooks past, the advice
 and menus of cooks present, the wisdom of cookbook writers.”
~ Laurie Colwin
