Random Meals

Anyone else do this? FH and I sometimes eat together, but other times we don't and I'll eat the most random stuff. My mom said after my Dad died and she didn't have to cook anymore, she started eating things like crackers and peanut butter and cheese for dinner.

Tonight I am eating: steamed broccoli and asparagus
crackers and cheese.

FH thinks I am so weird. He is a Manly meal eater and can't fathom eating random crap. Once I had a handful of nuts, some steamed broccoli and a few slices of cheese. And tomato soup.

I do that too! It's all the stuff I can eat and call dinner, but if I made it for FH, he would say, 'what the h ell is this? This isn't dinner!'

It's not completely random--just not traditionally dinner food, but I also like to eat eggs or pancakes for dinner sometimes. FH would not be happy if I made that for dinner so I'll eat it when he's not around.

We do it allllll the time, especially on nights when I am home alone.

For example, tonight I ate a tuna sandwich on rye (4 pts for those of us counting! ) and a small portion of tortellini soup (3 pts) for dinner. Patrick will mostl likely eat leftover bow tie macaroni with broccoli, garlic and oil when he gets home. Or, he just may eat cheese doodles, depending on his mood.

I do it all the time!!!!! BUT FH and I don't live together yet He asks me all the time what I had for dinner and when I tell him he says'He!! no, I'm not having thatfor dinner...I need real food'

I often have mashed potatoes and corn, or rice and a bagel. The other night I had crackers with mozzerella cheese and turkey..it was so good I had it the next night too

I can eat anything with cheese for any meal. We have no food in the house right now but we have about 10 types of cheese.

We definately eat random stuff for dinner - cereal, eggs, PB&J, english muffin pizzas, etc.

When I lived alone I did that more or if I am eating alone I sometimes I do that. More when I rather eat not make a mess or sometimes I eat just what I have a craving for. I am a huge cravings eater (DH can't understand the cravings thing..he can eat the same turkey sandwich, side salad and diet coke everyday for all meals!)

But when DH is left alone to eat..he eats the most random stuff. Anything he finds in the fridge and throw it on a wrap and call it dinner. Or he'll eat a can of beans (barely heated) and chase it with a bowl of cereal. And he is so happy with it. He sits there with this huge smile....

I just had motzah ball soup and an english muffin!!

I am dieting so tonight FH will have a 'random meal'. Last night it was leftover chicken and vegtables - not so random I suppose. Tonight it will be egg salad, tuna salad, and a salami wrap (tomorrow's lunch that I just found out he doesn't need!)

Me - I can eat ANYTHING as a random meal! Matzoh with cream cheese, a bagelm walnut and cucumbers ! Oh - when I was on Atkins, I would have cheese cubes, a hard boiled egg and some peanuts!
