I've always liked cooking. I used to say, "I like eating, so I like to cook." The truth was that if I didn't cook, I didn't eat. No one else in our home liked to cook until our kids got old enough to help, and by then, I was too used to cooking my way. It was hard to watch them cooking "the wrong way." Over time, especially after retirement, cooking all our meals became less enjoyable. Even though we only eat one or two full meals a day (thank goodness for that!), I didn't cook lunch while we worked; we each did our own thing. So I was growing weary of the obligation to plan, shop, prep, and cook. At least Tim took over the kitchen cleanup when he retired, which I greatly appreciated. And we ate out a couple of meals a week. Then came the Covid pandemic, and we didn't eat out at all for a long time. Some days, cooking seemed a real chore. But suddenly a couple of weeks ago, Tim suggested he cook a meal. I loved the idea! Though he chose a fairly simple menu, it was so good! A meal tastes much better when someone cooks it for you anyway. Since then, he's been cooking a couple of dinners a week, and he won't let me help him beyond finding things in the kitchen. It's been a lot of fun! Of course, when he cooks, I clean up. In fact, I'm glad to clean the kitchen after a delicious meal cooked by someone who loves me! --Janice
