Sierra,
We are not retired (or even old enough yet as we are only 48 yrs old). He works
full time I work part-time (rare occasions I work more then 2 days a week).
I do not ALLOW him to cook, as I am the one who does dishes (load DW),
if I let him do the cooking well lets just say for 2 grilled cheese sandwiches
he will use 4 plates, 1 cheese slicer, 2 knives, 2 spatulas and numerous other
utensils and dishes, all that just to make the 2 sandwiches on the griddle no
less.
He sometimes makes up a pitcher of margarita's just to do that he uses 2
pitcher's, 4 (2- 2cup & 2 - 1 cup) measuring cups, 3 large spoons.
I love him dearly but I don't like spending any more time in the kitchen than
is wanted much less needed to spend in there. LOL

Louise, My babe and I are both retired and he also comes into my quilting room about meals... he comes to tell me I have a 5 minute or 10 minute window and dinner will be on the table!!! It may be because, as I found out years after she died, my mother was famous for being a drab cook (and I never knew it), but my BIL, SIL, sons, best friends' hubbys also all cook. They got bored when they retired, and started experimenting in the kitchen (or, in the case of SIL he likes to cook on weekends). You should encourage your DH to try it. At the very least it will keep him busy while you quilt!!!! LOL
