Jim, I have a feeling you might enjoy taking a cooking class or two. It would make you feel empowered, and, would be a lot of fun.
When my late father-in-law retired, he took a wok cooking course, which he loved - unfortunately, his wife wouldn't eat anything he cooked. She was a Scottish meat & potatoes lass.
What kind of meals do you like? I have loads of easy recipes I could send you.
Keep smiling, Jim, and the world will smile back at you :sunshine:
