ML--DH and I eat out fairly often since we've been retired.
But what surprises me is how many of our neighbors don't cook
AT ALL! I wonder what people who don't cook eat! I've been
trying to find some friends who would like to form a dinner
club where we prepare the food in our homes (not at a
restaurant), and I'm having trouble finding any takers! I
enjoy going to restaurants, but I really love a dinner party
in someone's home. Retirement is wonderful!
