I work in retail. I lived by myself for many years so I never had a real reason to cook meals. It seemed pointless for just me. Now that I'm with my boyfriend, I am enjoying using him as a guinea pig for new recipes. Anything inexpensive without a whole lot of ingredients. I also like to make cookies here and there. I make a really good meatloaf. I made sweet and sour chicken once in a crockpot and it was horrible.
