Retired. I cook for my husband (who still works) and my father who lives with me. Brunches at church, special holiday dinners, and simple meals. Spaghetti and meatballs. It has to cook several hours to be just right. I also make killer mashed potatoes (according to the relatives). When we eat spaghetti together, we all wear our "spaghetti bibs" which were handmade by my late mother. Ususally I can give a pretty mean party layout of simple appetizer type foods. Occasionally, I cook a "burnt sacrifice" (especially as I get older).
