I didn’t have to cook for someone else. I like to think I am a normal person. That with no one looking over my shoulder I will eat like any other fully grown toddler left to themselves and grab some fast food or microwave some chicken nuggets.

But I had a small loaf of bread I baked earlier with no clear use. I started looking through the cabinets and found an emergency tin of smoked herring and an open bottle of port wine.

Okay, fine. I’ll eat like a fully grown toddler from the 18th century.

This is sooo tasty.

Cost per person: $4

      Tomorrow will be a little crazy. Probably going to Taco Bell. Then again it’s been probably a year since I had Burger King.

        There ain’t nuthin wrong with Taco Bell!

        Out of all the big fast food chains, it’s probably the healthiest food, although that’s just relatively speaking.

    I’ve never thought to use herring as a topping. I’ve always eaten it as a side dish with some potatoes or just by itself

      You can drink port from any glass. Even a mason jar. I’ve actually drank a $100 bottle of vintage port from a quart mason jar. But I have found that an ISO compatible port glass really is the best way to grab the full flavor experience for port wine.

        I have to trust your word. I have a couple of bottles of wine I got as gifts in my basement, even though neither the giving or receiving party actually drinked wine. I think it was meant to be a classy gift or something?

        Anyway, the ones I could use for cooking are used up, and the medium sweet that’s left will probably be there until I pass or become an alcoholic.

        Edit: the thing about becoming an alcoholic. It’s not to insult anyone, it’s to say wine is my least favourite alcohol and alcoholics will drink anything under pressure.
