Not every night. They're only two of us, but what usually happens is that whoever does the cooking cooks for four. So Monday's dinner is also Tuesdays, Wednesday lasts into Thurs, Friday we try to go to a new restaurant, then cook Sat.

There is a farmer's market that occurs on Sat and Tues, so that helps dictate how often we cook. The more often we go to the market, the more inclined we are too cook, even if we get home at 7 - 8 pm. 8 pm is pushing it, but not so much at 7 pm.

My wife is classically trained, so I've picked up a few things. Like how to use a knife and making mirepoix. Some weekends, we'll make a big batch of marinara sauce, bolognese sauce, and our secret recipe chili. We then divide out 2-person portions into Official TSA-Sanctioned Quart-sized Ziptop Clear Plastic Bags (labeled Huck Fawley of course) and throw them into our freezer. Comes in handy when we both come home late and there isn't much in the fridge.
