I've no idea what it's like to feed children. I can't even remember
much
about being one. But for two middle-aged people, one burger apiece
is the right amount. We only have guests a few times a year, and it's
generally a planned dinner party.

Sure, we make leftovers on purpose. A big pot of spaghetti sauce or
chili gets parceled out into bags and frozen. We always make
something
on the weekend that he can use for lunches. (No point roasting just
one
chicken.)

But hamburgers? I'd rather use fresh meat than leftover burgers.

Everybody is busy, one way or another. Even my retired mother says
she doesn't know where the time goes.
