I quilt and DH cooks. I help with shopping and cleaning up but if I'm really into my quilting DH cleans up too. It's just the two of us these days so there aren't too many hard and fast rules about who does what.

Well, I'd rather quilt, however since I have macular degeneration and can't see very well, I've turned to cooking. I make easy meals, simple casseroles, crockpot oatmeal for breakfast, use the pressure cooker for soups and stews. I cook rice ahead and package for the freezer so I always have some on hand, same with beans. Use my breadmaker a lot. Bake potatoes in the crockpot. Easy peasy cooking!

hate to cook, so use crock pot and make one meal to last a week.

Depends. If I'm cold or hungry or have some other overweening reason to cook or bake, I cook and/or bake. If not, guess what I do.

There is no way I would have ever thought it was my job to do the cooking for other adults in the house. I didn't raise my girls to think that way. It would be misery to know it was expected for me to cook meals everyday especially if I worked. Why would any woman do that to themselves?

I like to put a slow cooker meal on in the morning then go out and sew until it's time to finish up the meal. Then of course DH does the clean up and I go back out and sew.

I'm grateful now that I am retired that I have the time to do both. I do like to eat homemade foods so I can control the amount of sugar, salt and fat that goes into a recipe. Not that I am a dieter but my aging stomach just feels better when I eat better foods. Do like to bring out the crockpot occasionally. Love that the meal is ready whenever we are ready to eat! Lucky my DH is not a fussy eater!
