You hit the nail on the head. I only enjoy cooking some of the time, and it’s mostly not 3 times a day! Since my husband has been on the disabled list (2 and a half years and counting) I’ve done it all. By the time the dinner dishes are done I am dragging and I’m still not finished with all I have to do. I do leftovers as often as possible but it still uses up plenty of dishes in the process. Connie I have been thinking about cooking and recipes, you know your Recipe file ?? Those little tabs that label what kind of recipe it is ??? Well I have been thinking about new recipe labels, "EASY TO MAKE", "EVEN EASIER TO MAKE", "NO EFFORT AT ALL" and than finely "ONLY WHEN THEY MAKE ME". It would be a lot easier if I could just make dinner in the morning, when I am not so tired. It's really the combination of having to clean up the kitchen after the cooking (you really didn't really want to make in the first place) and your even more tired now, than before you cooked, that is so tiresome. After I DO clean up the kitchen, I come back and there is my husband sound asleep in his chair. It's women's work, and always has been women's work, always will be women's work !!! ( no matter what they say about sharing the chores, they are lying) I only know one man that likes to do the dishes, and he's a bit off !!! and I am not sure if it isn't because he likes to be with the ladies, if y! ou know what I mean !!! I'll let this go for now, I need to think of something easy to make for breakfast, if I could just warm up left overs from last nights dinner, oh how sweet that would be !!!! Sully, in Cloudy California P.S. Do we really have to have dinner every night ????

Quite some time ago I informed my husband that having cooking 3 meals a day for a family of 10 for over 50 plus years I was resigning only cooking full meals in the eve when I wanted too. So far it has worked. Still cook but not big meals. Just trying to figure out what to cook was overwhelming at times.
