Well its like this after a day of being outside or in the shop working on a tractor all day you come home for supper and to get warm and call it a day. Now that the kids are gone (3 boys) and my wife is in KY taking care of her mother who needs help, So I have to cook for one now, ME! Lets face it you can only eat so many burgers and chili dogs and such before you cant stand them anymore and canned soup gets old quick too. And cooking for two is easy as most foods are set up for two but the same thing 2 days in a row get old quick if you know what I mean. So you have to get creative and think outside the box on what to fix and how to fix it. I don't want to spend hours cooking and cleaning up my mess cause lets face it men make a mess cooking! I admit it we do! So when I get home after a hard day I want something quick easy and not much to clean up. Sounds simple enough.
So hears a 10 min meal for one. Now who doesn't like spaghetti and meat ball and garlic bread and a salad? Well I made it quick and easy, Hillbilly style (I am one). One small pan add hot water add 1 pack of Ramen noodles (don't add flavor pack) bring to quick boil. Put 4 or 5 frozen meat balls in the microwave to heat up (45 seconds) pull out cut them in half toss them back in for 30 seconds and there hot. Put 2 pieces of garlic bread in a skillet to cook (no sense of turning the oven on for 2 pieces). Noodles are done drain off water and add spaghetti sauce (from a jar and put remaining in the fridge) to the pan (as much or as little as you like), flip your garlic bread so it don't burn. Add the meat ball half's to the pan and let them simmer for a few mins to heat the sauce up. Turn the stove off take garlic bread out of skillet pour your spaghetti and meat balls on to a plate add the garlic bread and add the salad from the package (from the fridge) and your ready to eat. See quick and easy! 1 pan to wash 1 skillet to wipe out with a wet paper towel and 1 plate a fork to wash. And yes you made a home cooked meal, I guess. Quick and easy and hillbilly style.
So what ideas have you come up with when your by yourself but want something good and quick and home made? Don't tell me get carryout, BTDT it gets old. You know the like the stuff you like to eat but not that often. Bandit

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
