My daughter will be going to college next year. My friends and I are in the same boat, not wanting to cook for just ourselves. So I suggested that the 4 of us each take a day to cook. While the other 3 come over. This way you only have to cook a couple times a week. Also you get to try out different foods. It's also cheaper.

its also someone to talk to. i have tried to do this same kind of thing but it has never worked. i am single and get pretty bored with my cooking and looking at me and the dog. so think about the folks that dont even have anyone going away.
I am newly widowed and sharing meals has been a godsend. I just got back from a shared meal and will be going again tomorrow night. We just stay for short visits to share the day's news and it makes things so much less lonely. I feel ready to come home and do the evening's chores.
Yes, I'm sure you have a better appetite when sharing a meal & having someone to spend it with. Singles tend not to eat very healthy meals, especially men. We had a elderly male friend, who hardly ever went out of the house, except for a jug of milk, and maybe to gamble. If you're single, lonely, living in a gambling resort town, or area, gambling is the absolutely worst "hobby" to take up.
I need something like this. My husband died 3 yrs ago suddenly, then my mother (who lived w/ me) 2 years ago, & I moved to rural WV where I've been for about a year now. I like to cook & experiment even, but not for just myself. The few friends & co-workers & have here are involved w/ their own households, naturally, & I have no one to share meals with. I'm not sure how to seek this out. Any thoughts, anyone?
