Since both of us have worked all our lives and with no kids, we eat out except for the occasional grill at home. This past winter I decided to learn to cook. I'm doing OK but nothing fancy yet and the Crock Pot is my friend. Wife has little interest in cooking at this time. We intend to retire to TV and we will then make most meals at home. Not sure how the cooking will be shared then.

Biggest problem for an inexperienced cook is cooking for just two. Even cutting down the recipe, they usually still make too much and I hate to waste food and $$. Also building up inventory of spices, etc., so every new recipe isn't so expensive.
