We love where we live, but I constantly dream of living in an "over 55" independent living place where you go down to a dining room for every meal and they serve you! I could never afford such a place, and as I say, we love our home. So since I also hate to cook, it is getting to be more and more of the frozen meals every night. Luckily, my DH - who does not know how to cook, just wants something to eat- very easy to please. I used to think eating out was too expensive, but groceries are getting expensive, too - and just not having to spend the time to cook is great.
My neighbors always give baked goods - cookie platters, etc. - as small gifts - so even though I hate to cook, I tried to buy ingredients and bake those small loaf cakes for gifts. After spending $$ for ingredients, I realized I should have gone to Fresh Market and bought pumpkin bread and banana bread loafs and wrapped them. They would not only have been cheaper - but better, too!!! (grin)
