I could never understand why someone wouldn’t want to treat themselves as well as they would their guests.
Table for One is about the real glories of living alone. The way you honor your life. What better place to begin than how you nourish yourself every day? When you give some attention to feeding yourself well, you’re laying the foundation for living life to the fullest. You deserve something better than a sandwich over the sink!
I discovered the importance of this unexpectedly. About a year ago, my husband of 19 years died suddenly of a heart attack. We were both creative people who had no children and a very social (and well-fed!) lifestyle. I am a professional singer, actress and playwright who also loves to cook and give dinner parties. When Bob died, I found myself in a new place in my life. Living alone. I decided it was more important than ever to embrace the life that I have, and do the things that I love. I wasn’t about to put away the china and the Cole Porter champagne glasses.
So I’ve made some adjustments. New recipes, new strategies. And I’ve paid attention--to my surroundings, to my friendships, to the little things that make up a day. I believe it’s made a difference, and it’s helped me move forward, with joy. This blog is a place to share those ideas. And I hope it can make a little difference for you too.

This looks delicious! And it's all about liking yourself and approving of the decisions you are making in your life, right? When you are on a good path, you really like your own company - lots!

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna love this! And, since many times I miss your performances, this will be a fun and dear-to-my-heart way to stay in touch. Your friend and fan, Chris Baker
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteKaren Johnson here. I think I posted a comment re Google, but just in case it did not take(nothing to do with my lack of computer skills)I thought I would add my 2 cents.
I LOVE this Table for One! Jerry and I are two but this is how I also cook for two people! Thank you thank you. I have printed everyone of your recipes out and I have a special Table for One folder in my recipes drawer.
