My wife & daughter will be going on a trip for two weeks soon, which means I get the place to myself.
Looking for any good ideas while I'm on my own, mostly food/drink or movies (not that kind, well maybe...). Already planning on stinking the unit up with 40 Cloves and a Chicken.

Hmm. This really depends on what you are restricted on doing when they are around. Do those things.
Spare a couple hours to write some poetry or whatnot about your missing ladies. Do you realize how many brownie points you'll earn doing this? Speaking of brownies, bake some for when they return. Might want to practice baking the whole time even.
Unless she has a fear of balloons.
In which case, fill the house with balloons.
If no... Get a dog for when they come home.
Only once.
Don't clean the floor first.
Make an entire playlist of music and crank it for an entire day, singing along with every single song.
Poop with the door open
( Though if you were like my dad, you did this when family WAS around)
Sort of dreading that part, not that I'm super messy. I'm just afraid I'll put it off until the last minute.
Clearly the solution here is to go stay in a hotel for the couple of weeks so any mess you make is someone else's job to clean up.
Cheaper to hire a maid for the last day?
Then build a fort!
Then when your daughter is back share the fort with her
I have developed what I call the "Dedicated Day of Decadence", on the rare occasions when I have an entire day off by myself. It is intended to give me the maximum amount of nothing as possible in a day.
The DDD is as follows:
1: Wake up whenever you feel like it, because DDD
2: This is the only time you'll work. Make a Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Use the same pan to cook the bacon and eggs, but cook the bacon first.
3: Is there champagne in the house? Drink some! If not, maybe Bailey's and coffee?
4: Start playing video games. Take coffee(Bailey's included) breaks as needed
5: Order a Pizza for lunch. If you're ordering from a place that also had good garlic bread or cheese sticks, go ahead and get some.
6: You can probably switch to beer around the time the pizza arrives.
7: You're probably a little bored of your video game by now. Watch last night's Daily Show, and if you're super bored, maybe a movie? Did you know that Grand Budapest Hotel is on Netflix?
8: Yo it's snack time. Luckily, there's pizza left over! Why did you order so much? That's way too much for a single meal. Well now you have leftovers
9: Ok, back to the game. It's a good video game. You're killing so many Orcs/Zerg/Ezreal/Anti-mage/Cybran/.....Nod?
9a: If you're still not into the game you were playing, try starting a Civ V campaign or something. You'd be surprised how fast they go when all you do is play them 'till they're done.
10: Yo have you watched the My Drunk Kitchen where (whatever MDK episode you haven't watched)?
11: Dinner time! Half a pizza is a good dinner
12: You just ate dinner so you can go with Whiskey now. Remember to start drinking full nalgene's of water between each drink because seriously, are you trying to kill yourself or something?
13: Drunk dial your wife at 8PM.
14: Go to bed, man. You're wasted. Watch another movie or something, drink lots of water. Did you really drink the entire remaining half of that whiskey bottle? And some bailey's? And like 7 beers? Sure it's only 10PM, but boy that was a day. Also, remember to drink lots of water.
15: Ok well yeah obviously you need to re-watch the episode of Friends where it ends with "All By Myself" but Joey is looking at his water sculpture
16: Drunk dial your wife at an appropriate drunk dial time and leave a voice mail
17: Pass out?
18: Wake up the next day feeling surprisingly refreshed, thanks to the water you chugged last night.
Note: This may not be sustainable for an entire two weeks. I highly recommend it for one day
And drinking, if it's been a while.
Unless you live on a farm, miles away from neighbors, don't be that guy.
Crank it to 11.
I used to live on a small rural block (the neighbours were hundreds of yards away), but my current neighbourhood is working class, and all the neighbours within a few houses of me work during the day.
I am not being that guy, do not worry.
On topic:
I always make some kind of food that my wife doesn't like and that I rarely get to eat (usually steak).
I also often rearrange all the furniture to see if she would notice.
Yes. The nights my wife is out (rare anymore) are my taco or fish nights. Treat yourself well.

For the record, this is not available in the US streaming service. Maybe elsewhere it is, but now I am disappointed.

Wait, really? It's on Canadian Netflix. Considering that, like, literally every video ever is available on US netflix and pretty much only Netflix original shows and the Trailer park boys movie is available on Canadian Netflix, I assumed that anything that was on ours was on US as well.
I got it from our library. Man, that was a crazy movie. Streaming is weird here; several Oscar movies popped up for rental for a week pre-show, then disappeared, then came back to buy. Which is why I now own 'Big Hero 6'.
