My wife used to like to cook, but doesn’t like to cook for just the 2 of us... so now we generally eat out 4 or 5 times a week. Since we never do fast food, I guess it adds up a bit.
I also had a hard time adjusting to cooking for just 2 people. Fortunately, my hubby is not someone who won't eat leftovers; so, if I cook a meal it usually takes care of two dinners that week. We eat out twice a week.
Also, I am now in my 60's and cooking a meal which includes a lot of chopping of veggies and other preparations, doesn't appeal to me as much as it used to.
I love to cook but it can be a challenge cooking for two. When we had kids at home we pretty much ate every dinner at home. Now, we do go out a lot as myhusband looks forward to it. Tonight was an exception. We met friends for dinner and they insisted on eating in the bar section of the restaurant. There was a trio singing and playing and it was downright painful. The music was earsplitting and we couldn’t hear any conversation. Miserable night.
