Would you still cook if you diddn't have to?

Did I mention Linguine Alfredo with roasted chicken and bacon bits. From turning on the stove to dishing it out, less than thirty minutes.

I cook everyday. Regardless of whether i have to or not.

I realized when I started this thread that it was ambiguous. You might no longer have to cook because you no longer need to eat, or you may no longer cook because someone else does the cooking for you. I must confess that I can go both ways on both. I love food, but there are times that it's inconvenient, and you'd rather just not bother. And if you could restrict your diet suitably, you could afford better stuff to eat. If I didn't eat three times a day, I'd have more to buy filet mignon with. And while there are times that I just wish a good meal would magically appear, there are other times when I really enjoy the adventure and the process of discovery. Of course, if someone were to pay for a live-in chef to cook for me every day, I certainly wouldn't object. So there is both good and bad, even once one decides which question we're talking about.

I took your question as an economic one. Between going to restaurants and food delivery, we have the wherewithal for me to never have to cook again. As it is, we dine out 2-3 times a week.

As for me, I just never learned to cook and I have no interest in learning.

I'm doing Cornish game hens in the crock pot this year for Thanksgiving.

I think the carton of my lavish thanksgiving TV diner last year says something about Cornish game hen.

I only eat twice a day, small breakfast then normal dinner. Being old and retired I don't expend enough calories to require more.

There's the two of us.

I get why people wouldn't want to cook. Its time consuming. Especially if you live by yourself. It can take about 2 hours or more for me to cook. Then cleaning up the mess afterwards. But i also feel deserving of a nice, big, home cooked meal at the end of the day. I hate depending on someone else to do the cooking for me.
