wellred, at least you should order Chinese food - that'd be about as Jewish as you're going to get!

Thank you very much to everyone, especially to you, lurah!

I actually just baked a loaf of bread for the first time this weekend. It was a piece of cake (or bread)! As for equipment, all I used was a loaf pan, a large bowl, and a wooden spoon. That was it. No hand mixers, no stand mixers. Nothing. I just made a basic white bread. The recipe is here: http://robinhood.ca/recipe.details.asp?prcid=13&rid=54. The process is time consuming. But really, really easy.

I, too, live alone and am single, so most of my meals are for one. My go-tos involve what I like to call a faux-zotto - rice with a generous helping of cheese, cream of mushroom soup, and some sauteed mushrooms/onions - or grilled (on a grill pan, sadly no bbq) chicken or steak with roasted vegetables (zucchini, carrots, onions and sweet potatoes).

While we're on the topic of guacamole, I was wondering if someone had a really good recipe. Having just recently moved out to the west coast it seems to be as ubiquitous as ketchup.
