Nope. She got her own dinner tonight. As I have said countless times,
there is no need for anyone to have to know how to cook any more. There are
so very many prepared foods that one can buy now that are healthy foods.
And there is always salad. She loves salad. Or cheese and fruit. Another
favorite meal.

Again, no need to cook. Most of the people I know do not cook, ever.

I would never have told my mom that. She hated to cook. She turned the
cooking over to me at age 12. I actually *love* to cook and not only do I
not mind doing it for others, I *love* doing it. To have someone ask me to
cook for them is a compliment to me.
