erin — pork belly braised with kimchi sounds amazingly delicious… I am definitely going to have to try this. Do you know the cookbook “Fat”? it also has some delicious looking pork belly recipes

denise — thanks for the recommendations! So far your suggestions have been spot on, so I’ll have to look these up.

maybelles mom — thanks for the tip — I’ll check out his recipe

I can’t remember the last time I dined alone. It has easily been about 5 years.

But, as for the pork belly, Gordon Ramsay has a good recipe for pressed pork belly.

How can I not get excited about mega-bacon! Dining alone is a joy, but only when done right. I rush through my solo meals all too often. If you are up for a little more reading on the subject…Amanda Hesser dedicates a chapter of Cooking for Mr. Latte to dining alone (chapter 6). I also enjoyed her chapter on solo dining in the sky (chapter 26).

Pim of ChezPim has a great recipe for pork belly and Marvin over at Burnt Lumpia has a pork belly recipe that is guaranteed to make your heart explode.. I personally love it braised with kimchee, though I’m not sure how easy it is to come by in your neck of the woods.

As for dining alone, I have never minded it. I look at it as a time for contemplation, brainstorming and a time to treat myself. There is nothing like the solitary gluttony of a plate of oeufs en meurette to put a spring in your step. No conversation to divert your attention. At home, when Phil is away I treat myself to little nibbles and appetizers. There is usually a bit of speck and some sort of cheese involved.
