They're not talking a Thanksgiving spread, just a daily meal for one...wow.
Now just sad .
For those who are no longer “in the mood to eat”; The key is to do the dishes as you cook. It’s not hard, fill the sink with soapy water, as you stand there and prepare wash what is no longer needed. As soon as the food is finished, dish up and immediately sit at the table with your already set place and enjoy. Make sure you do the dishes before watching TV or moving on to other projects, while doing so store leftovers.
My kids do this same thing, NOTHING TO EAT. BS, eat the leftovers. I pressure all, including the wife to do no more cooking until last nights supper is consumed. Why waste food? My parents would cuff me or box my ears if I complained about leftovers, and rightly so.
