I wanted to challenge myself last night and try to make a complete meal from scratch. Since I live alone I am constantly on the lookout for meals that can be tailored down to serve one without many leftovers. I am burnt out on chicken so I headed out to the store to find a small steak to cook up and a small bunch of asparagus. Well, there really isn't such thing around these parts - most food is sold in portions for at the very least two people... two people with mammoth appetites. Maybe I just never noticed it before, but a small packet of sirloin steak (1 lb) is enough to make 4 single meals out of. And since the meat was on sale for about $4/lb I went for it. My initial plan was to buy a single small steak at the butchers, but the packaged 2-pack (of the same cut) was a better price - don't as me why, I just grabbed the smallest packet before I got cornered by the expansive family of 5 following me around the store.
