I have been living alone for a while and it's a real pleasure to have
guests so that I can cook. Or, like last week, I have a big baking
session to treat sons, D-I-Ls and grandchildren to cookies, cakes,
tartlets and sometimes bread.
Otherwise it's making a multi-meal dish and after 2 or 3 days, freezing
what's left - only to find several containers in the bottom of the
freezer a couple of years later:-)

Yes That would be me. My eldest gdaughter says that if one of us goes
the other has to live with them. How sweet is that? I wouldn't do it but
it is lovely to know.

Hmmm she does love my cooking .. I wonder if there is an ulterior motive ...
