    About this ebook

    In his cookbook Recipes and Short Stories for the Single Man, one-time divorcee Norman McGuire shares delicious and easy-to-prepare recipes for men who are tired of the cycle of eating out and gaining weight, and want to cook healthy, comforting meals in less than thirty minutes.

    Accompanied by humorous and entertaining personal anecdotes that detail his life and his motivation for preparing home-cooked meals, McGuire relies on his own personal experience in the kitchen to offer a potpourri of recipes for simple dinners sure to fill up a hungry man, such as stuffed jumbo biscuits, pizza burgers, brisket, pepper steak, and beef roast. This original compilation has solutions for every meal, as McGuire provides insight into how to cook a scrumptious breakfast of bacon, eggs, hash browns, and biscuits and gravy.

    From chili fries to cabbage and bacon to an unforgettable dessert comprised of a cup of flour, a cup of sugar, and a cup of milk, McGuire encourages other men to leave their fears of cooking behind and learn to enjoy their time in the kitchen preparing tasty meals for not only themselves, but for those they love.

      INTRODUCTION

      Let’s talk about why you want to learn to cook for your self . . . well for me it is was a divorce. Yeah a divorce. I started to eat at fast food joints and drive troughs. It was costing me a fortune and I was getting fat in the process. I got to thinking that I could cook for my self. Women don’t always cook what you want so you’re always telling her how great the stuff is with your mouth but your gut is saying ooooooohhhhhhhhhh no not again. Think back to the cave men. Org comes in and starts to cook his meat. Orgetta setting in the corner says to her self not good him learn cook, must bitich him out when learn to talk. Now if you cook better then your girl and she gets mad and says she is going to leave you, wellllll at least you can cook her a goodbye meal. Always be nice. Never hurts to be nice with the other kids. Now if a woman is reading this book and you get mad about what I am writing well tough. It’s a book for men so get over it.

      Salads

      Ok. Most guys don’t eat enough Vega’s. That’s a fact and you know it. So here goes. You can make a salad in about 5 or 10 minutes if you’re fast and are thinking of some one you don’t like, like your boss or future mother in law, or the woman that broke your heart. Let’s get to what you need.

      Lettuce, onions, tomatoes (can or fresh), and what ever else you might like to put on it Start by going nuts with a knife on the lettuce. Yeah chop the ever loving day lights out of it. After you have killed it in a gooooood way next comes the salt and pepper. Use how ever much you need. Now add the chopped up tomatoes, onion, and I like mushrooms. (If you think I can spell well your wrong I am not an English teacher.)

      Next add some bacon bits to it, or ham, or what ever you like. I like to put can tomatoes on mine don’t have to chop that much and then pour the juice all over it. Adds a kind of zing to it. I use mustered on my salad, but you use what ever dressing that floats your boat. Now chow down and eat. Like mom always said, it’s good for you. But then she is the one that tried to get you hitched to the girl next door, so what ever.

      Notes.

      Sex Food

      Beer, wine, whiskey, gin, malt liquor, brandy, scotch, (not the race), pretzels, beer nuts, trail mix, you know finger food. Well enough of this, you get the idea. Now if you get her loaded and she turns mean get out of there. If she is happy watch out she may be faking it, and if she zonks out make sure she is safe and go find another girl

      Notes

      Main Meals

      Ok now to get down to the real thing, Yeah . . . . . .Meat. I like hamburger. It is fast and easy to work with. There are a lot of things you can do with it if you let your mind go a little. I also like those big biscuits. Man you can do a lot with just these two things.

      First what I call a German Berger. You need hamburger, onion, cabbage, and a pack of those big biscuits.

      Now brown the meat and use a potato masher, you know those things that look like a weird wire fence on a handle. If you don’t know what, or where to get one, just ask at the store and some cute thing in a skirt will show you where it is. Women love making men look stupid.

      Now like I said mash the meat in to like a mush. Now drain the grease off. You do that by using one of those pans with all those holes in it. Don’t know what there name is but ask the cutie at the store she will show you where it is. Once the grease is drained off put it back into the pan. Now put in a chopped up onion and chopped up cabbage into the pan with it. Now mix the whole shooting match real good, add salt and pepper to your own taste and then cook on low heat for about 30 minutes. While this is going on take the biscuits and start to smash them flat. Make them look like a thin pan cake, only skinny. When the time is up, take the meat out of the pan and put a small amount on the doe (not doe as in deer) but the doe you have flattened out. Now pull one side over to the other side, make it look like half of a foot ball and mash the doe together. Put on a flat metal sheet and stick it in the oven. Cook on 350 for about 15 to 20 minutes or till the doe are brown. Take it out and let cool or eat it hot, that’s up to you.

      Second

      Now for burger and macaroni. Do the burger the same as you did before. Mash it all up with your masher, drain in the holie thing to get the grease off and put it back in the pan. Now add a can of mushroom soup or what ever soup from the can that you like. Let it simmer (learned a
