Having lived the life of a swinging bachelor for 25 years, I've recently decided to "slow it down" a bit, stay in more often and... ahem...*cook* my own food. Here's what I've learned over the last 30 days.
1) Wash grapes before eating them. 2 weeks ago, I bought a bag of white, seedless grapes, then sat and proceeded to eat them while watching tv. Later, when I went to the can, I noticed my fingers were dirty. I did my business, completed the paperwork, washed, then went back to the grapes. Later, when I went to the can, I noticed that my fingers were dirty. Washing also applies to apples, however, when it comes to bananas, you can let it slide.
2) Apple come in many varieties.
Mom only bought Red Delicious Apples, therefore only Red Delicious Apples exist. Not only is this untrue, but I've discovered one of mother's greatest injustices perpetrated on me yet. Not only are Red Delicious Apples not my favourite, I've found that not all apples are red! That, and some of the one's mixed with yellows and pinks taste better. Lastly, since God Didn't Make Little Green Apples, who did?
3) You can fry meat of dubious sanitary content into being safe for consumption, but you cannot make it taste good.
4) A bag of rice can feed a man for a week. So can a bag of sugar.
5) Wash lettuce before eating it, and don't eat it like an apple.
6) If you do not flush the toilet before going away for the weekend, upon returning home, you will wish that you had.
7) You can turn off the lights, appliances and all other electrical devices in order to cut your bills, but you'll become bored quickly when you do.
8) Washing canned foods is not required. Washing canned salmon is disgusting.
9) The cost of double ply is twice that of single, but it's 4 times as valuable.
10) Wash your hands after using single ply. Immediately.

Keep us posted with future developments. I can't wait for the next installment in your saga of culinary self-exploration.

ROTFLMAO...Too funny. Having been a single man for a while, I lost contact with the transition to Bachelor life. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane.

Having just purchased my own home, I am just entering the bachelor life style at the tender age of 23 (and I plan to keep it that way for some time to come!). I am finding out all kinds of great information on my own. I am some what of a health nut, so I don't mind buying stock in Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice (hey, atleast it's easy to count calories and carbs!) Being a bachelor is great!

Myself having not got hitched till age 40 I know what you mean.

I was on the road then a lot! (300+days a year) So the food was not a big issue. However my place was so dusty after arriving home from 2 28 day tours it took hours to dust...............

Take it back, bad man with scary eyes!
:lol:

Actually, what prompted this was the move to Texas, being far from friends and family and living in my swinging new bachelor pad. That, and I saw the trailer for "You, Me and Dupree", for which I'm considering filing a suit against Owen Wilson for plagiarism.
I'm happy if it elicited a chuckle or two ;)

11) In the garbage disposal, a cockroach big enough sounds exactly like an egg.

12) While it's True that "Raid Kills Bugs Dead", it's a lot more fun hitting them with "Tilex Mold and Mildew Remover" and watching them spin.

15.) When in doubt about the taste of said food items, add plenty of hot sauce to negate any flavor issues....... Then:beer:
