When I lived on my own for a year, I learned to appreciate the things I used to take for granted. Take meals, for example. All my life, I’ve never had to think about where my next meal would come from. Most of the time, it would be waiting for me on the table with a helper ready to serve. I’ve also never had to cook. So during my first weeks alone, I patted my back for every meal I was able to whip up. “Wow,” I would marvel, “I survived another meal!”
There was one particular dinner I can’t forget. I was going to eat dinner alone at home so I bought some Romaine lettuce. I chopped up a Korean omelet, leftover takeout from the night before. I added some strawberry vinaigrette and voila! I had the most salad in a jiffy.
