One activity that has really declined with 1-fewer kids in the house and 2- graduate school- is my dinner planning and cooking skills. As since my "bar" as a cook was already very low, that is a scary thought for the three people who still live in the house with me. I think I have only about 10 regular meals I cook any more and those don't happen that often. Sometimes it boggles my mind to think that I use to cook meals every day for 7 people including the shopping and planning. How did I do that because I can't seem to make it happen too much any more?
However I had the chance to make dinner for a friend and her family after a surgery which always means good food for the home crowd too. After it was all done and delivered this was my kitchen--I pointed out to Gary that this is the reason I don't cook real meals. It makes too big of a mess.
It was worth it--now and then! Chicken Dressing Casserole, steamed vegetables, green salad, and cupcakes with ice cream for dessert.
I still really don't understand people who say that they love cooking! I totally missed out on that gene or talent and I really hope that there is no cooking required in the eternities.
