I have decided, in this twilight of my life, to name the three basic things I so loved as part of living.

First...EATING! Yea I too live to eat but I blush, I am not necessarily proud of it.

Second...SLEEPING! Indeed I loved to sleep when I was a young widow, raising a very difficult child, working hard, going to college at night, I always swore when I retired I would sleep 15-20 hours every day.

Alas here I am, almost 70 years of age, and I can only sleep maybe 5 6 good hours although I take a few naps. Still, SLEEPING, my second joy in life.

And finally...well I got say it...SEX! For now that is not so much part of my life but for the most part I considered sex a pleasant thing.

Anyway, I too love to cook but like your wife, I don’t really want to make a career of it. I will go the extra step if it’s something I really like but I live by myself and need to cook things from scratch that freeze well, do not require either a food processor or blender, even a stand mixer because I am done with these things.

But making sauces like Alton does....not for me.

I love the Food Network “Worst Cooks in America” and am thinking of entering it myself.
