Better to Laugh

As our nest gets more empty, it gets more difficult to plan for dinner.  They say it is hard to cook for just one or two people.  You know what is harder?  Cooking for one or two most nights and then having your boys, who are in their early twenties, eat dinner at home.  Sometimes, one of them brings a friend.

Last night, I made a two and a half pound meatloaf and about the same amount of mashed potatoes.  My husband worked late, so we ate before he got home.  I had to reserve some of dinner for him, because the three boys were gobbling it up!  When my husband got home, he looked at what was left and said, “Is that it?”  There was still quite a large portion, by my standards.  I guess I underestimate the male appetite!
