I headed to the grocery shortly for some ground beef and sausage. Going to make meatballs and stick in crockpot. Keep them warm and will do spaghetti and meatballs for supper. Big batch and easy recipes. Then I just reheat or freeze. Will do that. Got recipe for chicken pot pie. I precooked chicken and froze for that. Got T-bones on sale the other week. Nice ones. Pull one out of freezer in morning yesterday, threw couple taters in nuke and that was it. Have gotten to where I do simple make ahead and DH loves to throw things together. works for just the 2 of us. Love if I don't have to stand over it constantly. would rather sew. but like to eat too well.

I'd rather quilt, unless chocolate is involved.

After Cooking for about 55 years I am getting tired of it. I try to cook on the weekends for suppers and lunches. My Husband in the last 10-15 years cooks Breakfast. I prefer my cooking over anyone else's. Not big on restaurant food either. Eating cereal or PB sandwiches some evenings is good enough for us.
I sew every evening and on weekends.

I have a rabbit holding a chalkboard in my kitchen that can be written on. For the longest time it said "On strike!"; well that didn't work so now it says "Quilt More Cook Less"

Cook...if someone else is cleaning up. Since no one else is cleaning up, I'll quilt

Quilting trumps cooking each and every time. I don't even have a stove in my kitchen (what a waste of space just to occasionally boil water). We use the microwave and the toaster oven and an electric kettle when I feel the need to boil water.

I'm so lucky! If I do not feel like cooking, Jim will do it. I like both, but quilting lasts longer.

Oh, I love to eat, so i must cook once in awhile, but would really rather quilt. Winter is hard, ready for fresh veggies from the garden, and we can grill outside without freezing our buns, ha.

Sometimes I would rather quilt other times, cook. If I get involved in quilting and don't pay attention to time, DH does the cooking without me having to say anything. He cooks others times too. We both cook and clean up. Remember, this is after almost 46 years of training!!!!
