There is a particular aspect of being single that gripes me. Cooking.
Now I like to cook and have earned the complements of many a diner at
my uupath.  Still, when I wake up (* rising sun here *) and survive the
trip back from work, I rarely have the energy to prepare a meal more
extravagant that an apple or cheese crisps.  I don't dare buy a head of
lettuce lest it become greener by the month that I put off using it.

As a programmer (one of those individuals gifted with the ordering of
processes) I have dedicated myself to finding the simplest, fastest home
cooked food possible.  Now for an assumption, (he state, fully aware of
the consequences).

Perhaps others, in the same frustrating situation may be interested in
sharing an occasional meal algorithm.  Here is one that I resort to on
occasion.

	20min(of more sleep)morining hash.
	----------------------------------
	This meal is guarrenteed(sp) to allow 20min of extra sack time.
	INGREDIENTS:
		1 Large Potato (or 2 tiny ones)
		2 Eggs     
		  Ham (bacon could be used at the expense of more cooking time) 
		  Cheese

	Grate the potato into a hot frying pan with butter,or marg, etc.
	When this hash browns (arr arr) break the eggs over it and stir 
	until they are cooked in with the potatoe.  Add the ham at anytime
	(preferable chopped) and put the results on a plate (or eat it out
	of the pan) after putting a garnish of grated cheese.  Add salt,
	pepper, salsa, oregano, etc. to taste and enjoy!

The whole process doesn't take me much longer than 15 minutes. (for the 
congenital hacker just consider this a real world benchmark).
