I love to cook. When my DH was alive I used to cook all the time. I can't think of one thing I ever fixed that he didn't like. Being from the deep south cooking (and eating) are big deals!!
Now, I don't cook like I used to because 1) I would end up eating most of it and 2) I never know who will be here for dinner. It never fails - I don't cook and there's four or five people here. If I do cook you can hear crickets chirping in the house it's so empty and quiet!!
