The Spinster

So today I made my first full on Malawian meal...but with rice instead of nsima. I made an eggs/tomatoes dish and an tomato/vegetable dish. And I was eating it in the front foyer where you walk in to the office, and my coworker said "You are eating a bachelor's meal." And I was like "huh?" And he said "That is what bachelors eat. It's simple and cheap, and meatless." To which I replied "I'm not a bachelor." But before I could say "I'm a bachelorette," he responded with "That's right. That's a spinster's meal!" Oooh. I was about to pop one on the side of his face.
