*furiously looking up why she doesn't know that Judith Jones wrote a book on solo cooking*

Absolutely devoured this essay. I often cook, dine, and eat alone. I am plating breakfasts on a plate I bought 15 years ago because who needs 16-piece paraphernalia when you can enjoy a decadent sandwich all by yourself knowing how many hours of condiment research went between those slices. So glad I came across this essay!

This is a really cool piece, and I've been meaning to read the Judith Jones book for a while, so a great reminder. The book you announced, The spinster cookbook sounds fascinating too.

Thank you so much! And yes, Eli’s book is excellent — if you liked this piece, you’ll definitely enjoy it.
