The household expense over which I have the most control is food. I will be using my own kitchen for meals. There are quite a few challenges with this idea. First of all, I do not like to cook. I never have, and I never will. I can manage, but I'm not a happy camper when I have to spend too much time in the kitchen doing the Julia Child thing. Secondly, I'm not a strict vegetarian, but close. I don't eat any kind of meat, but I can eat seafood. So, you won't catch me frying a chicken or preparing roast beef, much to the dismay of my family. Third, we have eaten out for so long that my youngest daughter thinks that the first course is the presentation of the menu! The "eat it or starve" idea is something she has not been exposed to . . . yet.
Regardless of all of these challenges, we can and will reduce these expenses considerably. At least during the time I am "idle", I will cut our food expenses in half. No one will starve. I will try not to complain too much.
