This book actually became a bit of a meme a few years back because it's so sad and she talks about her husbands death and such which spawned the idea for the book.

Subsequently it sent the prices of the book on Amazon and such skyrocketing (at least for a book) at the time.


Here's the amazon link where you can find some humours reviews on it.

Possibly the best review of the book by Kyle Kruczek.

While those are amazing, you should check out the reviews for the book OP linked:

This book.

bought this book

I don't own it, but I'm pretty sure that Microwave Cooking for One may be the worst (saddest?) cookbook of all time.

People need to just learn how to use it properly

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1565546660?pc_redir=1406606479&robot_redir=1

It is really, really, really hard to cook efficiently for one.

Some people do meal prep and eat the same thing day after day.

I gave up and use a service that delivers me a cooler full of dinners (not frozen) every week. Freshly would be the national equivalent, but I found their portion sizes to be too small and they use a lot of packaging. I leave a few nights empty so I can go out to dinner on a date if needed.

Even paying someone else to cook for me, the cost per meal is less than what I was spending at the grocery store after waste was accounted for.

I also don't have a dishwasher so I hate involved recipes. If you have a dishwasher, you might have luck with preportioned cooking kits like Blue Apron and the like.

If you don't want to do any of this and still want to shop at the store, I find salads to be the best way to go for scaling things up/down.

Bonus link to the world's loneliest cookbook because I love the cover: https://www.amazon.com/Microwave-Cooking-One-Marie-Smith/dp/1565546660/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=microwave+cooking+for+one&qid=1566792626&s=gateway&sr=8-1

Microwave cooking for one.

I had to go a few days without gas in April when I moved in to my new apartment as well. Basically, cold super quick showers. If you have one of those electric kettles you could heat up some water and pour it in a bucket/bin and bathe yourself with it. (By pouring/splashing, unless you're small enough to fit in the bucket.) Or you could try baby wipes.

Here you go!

This book has made me attempt suicide twice: http://www.amazon.com/Microwave-Cooking-One-Marie-Smith/dp/1565546660/ref=pd_sim_b_4

since you are a cerialthriller, the new thrill would be to actually do something for yourself. though intimidating, different from your norm, and requiring work the benefits are great. and if this is too much to handle, i'd suggest continuing to eat what you eat, become obese, work on creating breathing problems (smoking works wonders), purchase oxygen tanks, 3-wheeled scooter, beater car and live in style.

that microwave will definitely come in handy when all you CAN do is push buttons.

Question (byobbtypo):

> Do LARPers get carried away and just end up beating the shit out of each other?
>
> Example:
> You: I hit you with a magic missile!You're dead!
> Them: Nope you missed!
> You: You're fuckin dead BITCH (throws punch)

Answer (kubit):

> We've actually had a few brawls here and there, but they're usually all talk. You can imagine with all of those endorphins that sometimes people get carried away and hilarity ensues, but this stuff is pretty frowned upon and rare. We do have a full-contact system of combat that requires verbal consent from whichever party you're going to tackle/maul for all of your aggression needs.
>
> Most of the serious fights actually happen with people who are in campsites near ours. One lady let her dogs loose and tried to get them to attack us because we were being rambunctious in the middle of the night. Shouting matches with normal people is pretty much expected.



Question (swankmotron):

> Why aren't you working on a novel?

Answer (kubit):

> Too busy LARPing and writing LARPing lore for successful careers! BAAARGH!



Question (MrSphincter):

> So lets say we're LARPing in the woods like you said. I suddenly get the impulse to massacre people (LAPRPingly of course). Does that count as a death or only during battles?

Answer (kubit):

> I'm assuming this isn't a death threat. Am I giving you too much credit here?
>
> I've stalked people for a few hours and then murdered them (LARPingly. The statute of limitations doesn't expire on murder, so) when they went to sleep and then dragged them in the forest to bleed to death. Anyone can take a death at any time.
>
> My favorite thing to do is follow people around until they let their guard down and then go to town. It's the best kind of hide-and-seek.



Question (byobbtypo):

> So you could just challenge someone and throw down right then and there? That sounds just amazing.
>
> Aaaaand, I'd probably think twice about trying to mess with a campsite full of drunk people wearing armor.....

Answer (kubit):

> Yeah. We've had gentlemanly fisticuffs break out during "formal" events that ended in black eyes, goose eggs, and worst of all, spilled home-brewed rum. We're fine with full-contact fight club brawls as long as both parties have verbally consented in front of a few witnesses. It's usually like, "I'm going to jump on your back and try to make you pass out!" "Okay!"
>
> Yeah. I'd never hurt a dog, though. If that lady came over, I'm not sure what would've happened. I daydream about it sometimes.



Question (MrSphincter):

> I've always wanted to try LARP especially the battle portion of it. Now that you mention that I can suddenly murder anyone on a whim makes the incentives far greater.
>
> Does being athletic help?

Answer (kubit):

> Yeah, it definitely does. I'm pretty out of shape myself despite not being "fat". I have athletic and allergy induced asthma, which is why I prefer to put on leather socks and stalk people as opposed to running around carrying an 80lb shield and a great sword.
>
> One of the most in shape people I know (Panacea, who posted on this thread) uses two swords and basically runs around, jumping and pummeling the shit out of everything, with great results. It helps when you can real-life dodge as opposed to using the limited number on your character sheet.
>
> I, however, cannot dodge for shit.



Question (x3rs1st):

> Wanna LARP at my place? I have boxed wine and pizza rolls.

Answer (kubit):

> No way, bro. Even hobbits can afford bagel bites.



Question (iwantitalliwantitnow):

> Nice! Glad you have so much fun. I remember some classmates and I stumbling into the middle of a LARP group while doing a class project. One of our classmates got stolen, and we had to join up with a the other team in a raid to get her back. It was fun.

Answer (kubit):

> That sounds amazingly awesome to stumble into. Did you guys use foam weapons or anything? I've done this for a birthday party! The little sister of my boyfriend at the time wanted us to do a kidnap-and-rescue module, in which I played an evil dragon queen named Onyxia. Don't judge me!



Question (mortaine):

> Are you bisexual?
>
> There's kind of an urban legend that all female larpers are bi, but I'm not sure if that's just limited to World of Darkness larpers.

Answer (kubit):

> I'm attracted to cookware, actually. Laci Green explains this phenomenon better than I ever could:
>
> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv5k9w6Hpi4



Question (MrSphincter):

> I happen to be like a hybrid. I train in boxing and Muay Thai on a daily basis yet during childhood had a lot of nerdy influences. I became that dude who happens to fix computer/tech problems but also punches/kicks people in the face since I fight. So living the fantasies of LotRlike worlds sound fucking amazing.
>
> Also I wanna go Conan ape shit crazy and hear the lamentations of their women. (With full Arnie crazy eyes look)
>
> What are the choices in weapons?

Answer (kubit):

> I totally get that. As a kid, I did competitive swimming and Iaido, but then I started playing DnD with my best friend's brother. I'm pretty lame now in comparison as far as body treatment goes, but I think my delusions of LARPing grandeur come from watching too many Kurosawa films.
>
> The women our this game don't generally lament unless their food is covered in dust, which happens a lot when fights break out during food time.
>
> There are weapon details and restrictions. Daggers, swords, longswords, polearms, hammers, axes, etc all have design specs that need to be met, but otherwise it's go crazy nuts. Also, shields and thrown weapons. There's a LOT of variety.



Question (dannyboylee):

> Have you seen The Wild Hunt?
>
> What do you think of it? Is it accurate at all?

Answer (kubit):

> Holy crap, no. I haven't seen that at all. Is it good?
>
> From the look of the trailer, yes, it's accurate. That's generally how we get new players... by kidnapping them. Although the women in our game generally prefer to play deadly things rather than princesses.



Question (Puppy_in_love):

> I greet you, milady, hoping that we can once cross blades.
> Now i have a question for ye. What kind of weapons do you use? Foam or?

Answer (kubit):

> Latex, usually. I have one of these:
>
> http://www.strongblade.com/prod/sbif-dag-corsair.html
>
> We could totally cross blades. Except that my favorite character class is assassin, so if we're crossing blades, I'm doing my job completely wrong.



Question (iwantitalliwantitnow):

> Not judging. And no foam weapons, but many war cries were had. We had interviewed them earlier, so when half of them took one of our group and ran off, we weren't too worried.

Answer (kubit):

> All I can imagine is a horde of nerds running over a hill and summarily potato-sacking one of your professionally dressed friends and disappearing back over the hill. The best imagery.



Question (MrSphincter):

> Maybe I get go use the fancy ass footwork from the training. I guess it does help that I have to dodge forces with the intention of knocking me out.
>
> The lamentation line is from a Conan the Barbarian movie btw and ooooohhh... hammers and daggers!

Answer (kubit):

> Oh yeah, I'm totally familiar with Conan. I just want you guys to know how GODDAMN TOUGH I AM. ROAAAAAR!
>
> We also make pots, pans, instruments, cups, etc. out of foam to hit each other with. Those are especially hilarious. One guy I knew made a bunch of glow-in-the-dark foam skulls to throw at people in the middle of the night.



Question (dannyboylee):

> Looks like you need to get yourself a copy of this.

Answer (kubit):

> Make that Microwave Cooking for Two. Bow chicka bow wow.



Question (Puppy_in_love):

> I am also an assasin. A duel between us is aceptable.

Answer (kubit):

> Sweet.



Question (Puppy_in_love):

> And if i am to die, let it be by your hand.

Answer (kubit):

> Double sweet.
