I agree with you Sheldon although I use an 8 quart pot for large
cooking. That's all my one small freezer will hold anyway. As you say,
mostly worthless to just cook for one or two most times. Better to
cook as large as you can and freeze leftovers. So many foods can be
frozen with no loss of taste when reheating later on.

Here's a joke I read this morning and I thought of you....hehehh

A man saw a lady with big breasts. He asked, "Excuse me, can I bite
your breasts for $1000?" She agrees, so they go to a secluded corner.
She opens her blouse and the man puts his face in her breasts for 10
minutes." Eventually the lady asks, "Aren't you gonna bite them?" He
replies, "No, it's too expensive."
