Shel making meatloaf with five pounds of meat, and making soup in Navy quantities just isn't practical
for most of us. For one thing, frozen cooked goods lose texture and taste after six months or so, and if one
is a single or feeding a couple, those quantities would be losing all kinds of quality before being consumed.
Many people here enjoy cooking and feel it isn't a waste of time to cook anew for each meal, or most
meals. As a solo diner, if I make enough to have one extra serving for a future time suits me and my taste
buds very well. For another, the cost of having storage space (freezers or shelves for home canned goods) for those
kinds of quantities is prohibitive.
