I’ve never really gotten the knack of cooking for one. I have lived by myself for years and I still keep a chest freezer because I seem to be categorically incapable of cooking a single serving of most things.
Sure, I could half a recipe, but then I’ve got even more leftovers of whatever I was using (half a squash, part of an onion, one leek, etc.) that I either then have to find a whole new meal to make something with, or I can just use it all and hope it will either freeze or keep for a few days (or until I’m tired of eating it, ymmv).
Now, at this point in my life, I’m not even certain learning to cook for one or two is a useful skill.
I should probably figure out the whole baking ratio thing sooner than later though… No one needs a 9×11 inch pan of anything for one…
