Plus, when you are cooking only for yourself, the pleasure/desire to cook "good" meals isn't as much fun IMHO. When I have the family over it's nice hearing, "this is great mom" or "good, mom's making this or that or whatever". It's nice getting a little compliment on your work, know what I mean??? It's just not the same telling myself, "Hey, this is great!" Ha ha ha
