Either or? Nah, cook intelligently, put things in crock pots or roast for long times. Make spaghetti sauce by the gallons and make chicken parm, or bought ravioli, or whatnot. I multi-task to the fullest and eat well. Never have enough time to quilt but that might have something to do with my day job. Get some cookbooks on cooking for two with recipes that take less than a half hour. Buy rotisserie chicken at the store and find a dozen ways to use it in casseroles. As for daughters who come over to eat??? Change the locks or just leave the raw ingredients out for her to use. tim in san jose

I used to love to cook and had to do a lot of entertaining in my younger years. Husband number 2, loves to cook and is very domestic, so I hung up my apron a while ago. Quilting wins every time with me....though on good weather days I get lured out into the garden (love gardening the same as quilting).

My wonderful mother-in-law cooked a meal with meat, 2 vegetables, and cornbread every day because father-in-law refused to eat leftovers. When he passed away, she put one of the potted plants from the funeral on the stove and said it was closed for business! Thank goodness her son is a good cook and eats leftovers many nights.

Rather be quilting but DH puts in so many hours at work and has spoiled me rotten I feel I owe it to him to have a meal cooked for him every night. But Friday night is our "date" night for pizza at our favorite spot (it's like the show "Cheers" all the personnel know us and know what we order every time). DH is not picky & if I don't want to cook he will eat cereal but that makes me feel guilty so I whip up something. It's mainly just we two now but occasionally last child at home will eat here along with his girlfriend which makes it difficult to know how much food the defrost. DH doesn't care what condition the house is in so long as I'm here too & has said if I want a maid to hire one...so tempting!! But we're happy as things are...however the thought of a maid sure is inviting

Loving all the replies to my survey. Have to say quilting wins hands down. And yea, if this 8 inches of snow leaves, love to garden equally. I do use the crockpot a lot, but even that takes thought. Rather think about buying material, piecing material, quilting material. Yup, I'm obsessed
Oh, the meals I love to cook are Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas. Not so much every day. Looks like a great day to sew. School is closed in all 55 counties here.
