All very true, with just the two of us now and being older we don't really
eat that much at all anymore, so I do like to cook just about every day, not
always complicated cooking or anything, but usually decide the evening
before what we'll have the next day. I do like leftovers, so do make larger
batches of soup and things like that to freeze.
