My ex's mother would routinely make 3 meals a night. She had 4 kids, two still
living at home well into their 20's. They were perfectly capable of making
their own food, but if left to their own devices would eat only chips and cold
cereal.

She wanted to be more adventurous in her cooking, but with a meat and potatoes
only husband and kids who would never eat anything strange or not doused in
ranch dressing she never really had the chance.
