Even when it's just me I'll still make it an arrangement and almost
always add a garnish even if only a lemon wedge dipped in minced
parsley or a small rose bud of pared apple peel... even a bowl of tuna
salad gets fork imprints and a dusting of paprika. If I ate at a
restaurant I'd expect presentation, why should I treat myself less. Do
you at least eat from a clean dish.
