How to be a happy single person
    #18998025 - 10/18/13 11:47 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Going through a hard divorce and I cant stop feeling like I need a women in my life immediately.

For example I grew accustomed to the meals my wife cooked so now after my divorce I starve around like a zombie lol

Any advice on being happy single and being successful and getting through this? (besides learning to cook on a regular basis which might be a topic on its own lol)

Ok I am on a great track!

Today I made oatmeal for breakfast, rice for lunch and had bananas and cantalope for dinner (special note... I am still starving!)

Thats funny about your crockpot, ever since I got myself a rice cooker I no longer ruin my rice everytime and it sees alot of use per week, Im guessing a crockpot would aslo make some good soups.

Doesnt comper to a super burrito with carnitas lol but I was never a big meat eater anyhow

not only the soups man..

you can make a killer baked potato in one, and have it ready by the time you get off work.

not to mention stuffed bell peppers, pasta dishes, short ribs... can go on for days..

and now that the weather is starting to cool down, its that time of season.

:vineclimb:



The psychology of happiness suggests a few things you should work towards if you want happiness:

1. A pet - get one, they bring emotional joy :nicekitty:
2. Good relations with other people - especially at your job. If you fight with colleagues or people you spend a lot of time with you'll hate your life/occupation.
3. Permanent change in your body image can have permanent effects on your happiness levels
4. Making others happy - brings a special kind of joy that money can't buy you.

Happiness comes from within, cultivate a strong sense of self again and learn to appreciate your own company. Work on living your life in a fulfilling way and seek out new things that give you some kind of happiness. Go get laid, learn how to brew your own beer, make good food, live a full life, fall in love with yourself or the life you're leading.

Everything else will follow. / cheesymotivation

Oh yeah, get a slowcooker dude! Look up recipes for stews, soups, curries, etc etc etc. Throw a bunch of shit in the pot, leave for work, and you have super delicious slow cooked food when you get home and a house that smells heavenly.

I would recommend smoking copious amounts of marijuana and watching the food network for foodie centric shows on the travel channel to cultivate an interest in culinary pursuits :awehigh:

definitely reach out to some people, close family members, friends. I like to meet up with my friends every sunday and sometimes thursday for football, if youre into that. Its a good opportunity for us to see each other and socialize. totally important. I also really enjoy/ed taking bike rides by myself, hitting the gym, and just treating myself to cool shit that i like, such as going to the moves, bookstore, etc... Cooking is a must know!!! It will become a passion once you really get into the habit. Eventually youll be the pro that everyone knows cooks awesome food hehe.

heres a few meals that could jazz up your cooking repertoire. I usually make these depending on what im feeling every monday when I go shopping.

Breakfast: Bananas, apples, oats (that big cardboard can of it), peanut butter. In the morning boil half a cup of water, then add half a cup of oats. put on simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring here and there. Cut up apples or bananas depending on how youre feeling. Add a spoon of peanut butter to the oats, then dish it, add your fruit.

lunch I usually will buy a loaf of bread and alternate between:

1. egg salad sandwich: hardboil two eggs, chop up with one of these, mix a spoonful of mayo, salt/pepper to taste

2. tuna sammy: tuna, spoon of mayo, salt/pper

3. avocado sammy: cut up and skin an avocado into quarters, salt and pepper to taste. toast your bread.

Quick tip, so you dont get your bread all mushy, Keep the bread and wet stuff separate in plastic ziplock bags until lunchtime. ill also buy like a 20 pack of sunchips every 3 weeks or so and take one with me to lunch every day, along with a piece of fruit.

Dinner:

ok what youll need for this are your basics: unsalted butter, salt, pepper, cayenne, tin foil, soy sauce, sirracha, tapatio, white rice

30 minute salmon + rice:
preheat your oven to 3fiddy. put your salmon down on a large piece of foil that will be able to wrap it up. get a stick of cold butter and shave off very thin flakes. place them on top of the salmon, 3-5 thin flakes will do. sprinkle a bit of salt and cayenne on top ot it and wrap it up. place it on a baking pan to catch any butter that melts out. put it in the oven for 30 minutes and start your rice.

for good steamed white rice its always a basic 2:1 water/rice ratio. for a solo meal ill go one half cup of rice to one cup water, add a pinch of salt. bring it to a boil, then put on simmer and cover. I like to stir every 2 minutes for the first 10 minutes, covering after i stir. After 11 minutes turn off the heat and let it sit until the fish times out.

you can also add some veggies if you want, an easy one is corn. just rub some butter on it, salt, pepper, and wrap it in foil. throw it in the oven at 350 for an hour ideally but 30 will suffice if youre in a hurry.

the fish will taste awesome; if it came with skin on the bottom once you take it out of the oven you can scrape it off with a butter knife. It will come off very easily. If you like hotsauce pour some sirracha on the rice. there are studies showing that fish rich diets help fight against depression. Im not sure if Im getting placebo effects but on the weeks I eat fish, I usually do feel super happy haha.




pm me if you want more recipes. I have some killer carne asada recipes, as well as some chinese dishes, sushi, italian, homemade pizza, mexican dishes, etc...
