And missy, if you like curry, curry actually tastes nicer after a few days in the fridge. You can cook some curry sometimes too. Yum!!!

Missy, you can freeze some of the minced meat you know. I do that all the time. As long as you can keep it in airtight container or get the air off the bag before freezing it, it should last for months. That way you don't have to eat the same thing every day.
I do agree with you though it's not easy to cook for only one. Even 2 is hard as we ended up having too much food.
How about try making simple meal like boil, steam or grill chicken wings/maryland/drumsticks just enough for yourself? Cook some vegies and go with some rice? That way, there's no leftover and you get to enjoy fresh food every day.
I hate to freeze fresh stuff. It's almost a sin to freeze fresh seafood and meat. And it's definitely a no-no for me to freeze rice or to refrigerate it for more than a day. I will eat the stuff, but I just feel sinful to waste fresh things and kill their flavour by freezing it.
You forget I can cook. I'm an aspiring cookbook writer, remember?
My problem is not recipes and ideas on what to cook. My problem is my appetite has shrunk and it's sometimes more expensive to cook small portions than large ones. For instance, I want, but can't buy, just half a zucchini, two stems of celery, and one bok choy although that's what I will consume say, over two days. -

Actually, my plan was Korean Spicy Minced Pork and Chicken Curry this week, but I ate so little that my Minced Pork is STILL leftover! Haiz...

And seeing an opportunity to make a name in the gastronomic world, the Cult Leader proceeds to make a new entry in Wikipedia :
"Zhu Gui" aka "Tortoise (Black) Mushroom" aka "Turtle (Black) Mushroom" is often mistakenly written in the menus of Chinese restaurants as "Pig's Turtle Black Mushroom".
A relatively new mushroom, it was only just recently discovered in the mountainous regions of Tibet where a resident's pet pig went sqealing wildly one day whilst being taken out on a walk and dug madly at a spot, uncovering a truffle-like black mushroom! The pig's owner then decided to add the truffle-like black mushrooms into her family dinner that night to rave reviews.
Since the mushrooms appear to be like turtles taking a dive into the ocean and appeared to be buried deep underground, they were henceforth called, "Zhu Gui".
China's answer to the Western version of the very expensive truffles! As with most things from China, it's fake-as!

fresh food taste better ....

I'm actually thinking of starting some kinda food exchange with my other single neighbours. There are five single ladies and one single guy in my block. I know two or three of the ladies might warm up to the idea.
For instance, I bloat terribly when I eat bread, but sometimes, you can't avoid eating bread as a cheap breakfast option. However, I've often thrown out 1/2 to 3/4 loaves because I can't eat that much bread all by myself before they become stale! And forget about freezing bread... I don't have that much space in my tiny fridge (plus I hate freezing bread!). So maybe, I can share a loaf with someone and the next time they purchase bread, they can share their loaf with me. Only thing is, I can't take Wholewheat because if I get bloated on bread, I get TERRIBLY bloated on wholemeal bread.
I bought a bag of carrots from the Richmond Market recently and gave my neighbour half (seven), which isn't a shabby number. And I got to eat fresh and not have to discard any stale leftover carrots, so I was really happy.
Food for thought!

you can also get a rabbit ....
bunnies like to eat bread ....

i'm too lazy to be like missy
If I cook it be something like a roast chicken so if there are leftovers I can have roast chicken sandwich, roast chicken noodles roast chicken with potatoes, roast chicken salad...pasta...u get the idea

I used to freeze my food so I could cook just two or three days a week and have enough to bring to work for the whole week. I didn't like that idea though and I don't think eating frozen foods and leftovers is very healthy.
Think maybe I'm getting on in years... I bloat terribly when I eat the wrong foods. I know I'm dairy and wheat intolerant but there could be other stuff I'm sensitive to. Besides, mom and my aunts made me promise before I left SG that I wouldn't rely too much on frozen food because according to Chinese docs, there's too much 'wind' in frozen food. Now, whilst there's no way I can prove that and I know that decades of people have lived on frozen food, I know I feel the effects when I actually succumb to that. Refrigeration I agree with. Freezing cooked food, I try not to although sometimes, you have no choice.

Oh yeah and why I love mashed potatoes is that left overs can be made into potato balls, croquettes and even mashed potatoe rosti. Hahahahha

I agree.... we of course will go for fresh food if we have a choice. But sometimes we just need to be realistic with what we can do and what we can't.

Eh... I'm lazy too mah! I've been having variations of my same bloody minced pork dish for ... bloody five days now! I'm sooooooo over minced pork now!!
Bleah!! You know what really works for me and makes me feel energetic and healthy? 250 - 300 mls serving sizes. That's what I used to have when I first came here and cooked my meals. I'd have no more than a 250 mls container of rice with a serving or two of dishes. In the beginning, I didn't feel full but I wasn't hungry either. I was just really happy to eat stuff that I love and I cook them exactly how I love it.
As I slowly ate more and worse, stopped cooking and ate out, I felt more and more unhealthy. Now, I've limited myself to just one to two main meals a day and at least one serving of fruit daily, and I feel good again. I think a lot of times, we overeat, especially in Singapore, where good food is abundant and easily-accessible and cheap.

I did that too. We got home late on Monday cos we went food shopping (cos only just got back from holiday the night before) so we ended up having takeaway BBQ chicken. I used the leftover chicken to make sandwich for hubby, spread with avocado yesterday and today. I had the remaining for lunch today. still taste quite good.....

Actually I think it's a bad translation though there is a mushroom called Monkey Head :x

cassie, just call up the restaurant and ask! For all you know, they meant Pork, Turtle, Black Mushroom.

Actually Missy if you marinate the minched pork in the fridge it can keep well for 5 days or so leh no need to cook
Just add soysauce and pepper and sesame oil can liao and the wine or whatever can be added at a later time for the variations to flavour
