[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum. We are heading into the empty nest with two in college and one high school student still at home. It seems very weird to be making a full dinner every night once it's just the two of us at home, and even now our teen is mostly out and about, getting home late from various activities, etc. Yet my DH still expects a meat, a starch and two veg every night. Just like my father did. When does the 'making dinner' gig end anyway? Do I have to do it until I"m 80 years old? Every night? It has gotten really old. [/quote] We are empty nesters and we still enjoy making, and eating, dinner, although DH does most of the cooking so easy for me to say. We do have Trader Joe's frozen items maybe once a week, and go out at least once a week, but still like the routine of cooking and having dinner. We also, thanks to our advanced age, are pretty focused on eating healthy foods, which is much easier to do if you are cooking at home. Unlike the OP, we don't eat any white carbs so baked potatoes are out, and diet coke seems to be pretty taboo these days too although I haven't totally given it up.[/quote]
