I feel the same as you gals do, I have cooked over 50 years also, I have just gotten tired of cooking everyday. I too try and make a dinner, that can be turned into 2 or maybe 3 dinners, by warming up for a couple of nights. There are times I like to cook, but those are getting fewer and far between. I have even put in sandwich's on our menu for dinner some times, like home made Chicken Salad, or Egg salad, also I like a home made Rubin, made with Deli. Corned Beef. My son who was in Lebanon is coming for dinner tomorrow night, he is bringing all the photo's he's taken and is going to share with us, some of what he did, and the photo's he took He is not married at this time, so he looks forward to a home cooked meal, so I will make one of his favorites, Pot Roast, I like a meal that can be cooked in one pot, and again I will have left overs for another meal. I have a friend who has never liked to cook, she told me the other day, she gets up, makes the coffee, than it hits her "what am I going to make for dinner tonight"? Oh she really hates to cook, she had a by-pass heart surgery two years ago, and her doctor doesn't want her to sit around and just read, so her husband makes her shop with him and cook almost every night. I would kick that doctor to the curb if I were her. Sully, still cloudy in California !!!

oh boy, I think we are all the same. I like the pot roast idea. Every thing in 1 pot. I was just thinking today I used to get a 7 bone roast, it was maybe a good 2 inches thick and covered the bottom of an electric frying pan. Add potatoes and carrots and there was your meal. There were 6 of us and had plenty. Now something like that, I havn't seen one for some time, but would probably be at least 10 dollars now or more. I think they must call it something else now. I have lots of receipes but have a hard time to figure out what to cook. Morning have to think whats for dinner as to defrost things. Some times I can think of lots and other times it is just nothing. My husband doesn't understand why it should be such a problem. Living in the country at least 10 miles in and back if you forget to get things to have on hand. One time I was coming down the driveway after working all day and saw that Ken's sister and husband had arrived. So I knew that would be over night and dinner. I was in luck that time had cooked a ham on the week end so of course left overs. Brother in law always liked baking powder biscuits. So through that together with jam, and enjoyed. We could have gone out to eat, but it is more comfortable at home and you can just visit and relax. I sure do miss them. But just hate to cook any more. Some times we have breakfast at night. Have a good pancake receipe, If I have bacon that is good and fix eggs. Once a week isn't going to hurt at this age. Getting old just isn't easy when you do alot of other things. right now more outside. The iside really needs work right now. Supposed to be really windy tomorrow so I think inside. We had to go looking for tractor parts today. So inside work tomorrow. Especially with 45 mi. an hour wind predicted. Every one be careful with all their planting.

With all of you on the cooking, never cared about it. When I was in High School Home Ec. hated it, already knew how to sew and didn't want to cook the stuff we had to. I really wanted to learn to weld and do woodwork but in those years girls couldn't take those classes they were for boys. Wouldn't let girls take science till we threw a big enough fit. My husband was from Louisiana and he and his family lived to cook and eat. His sister was a great cook and loved to. Of course when she had a job and kids they had a lady that came in and took care of the kids, cleaned, and got meals most of the time. After she retired they would come visit as I was going to work she would want to know what we would have that evening I never worried til I got home. After a couple of visits she cooked a bunch of her southern cooking and brought it. She got to cook what she liked, my husband got his kind of food I didn't have to cook. I never seasoned things enough. The months before he died he would think he wanted something in particular I would fix it and then he couldn't eat it or just a few bites. It was hard on him because he had always loved to eat. Now I eat mostly fruit and veggies.
