I managed to mostly miss the sharehouse situations, other than a year in student residence. The idea of a living in a standard sharehouse fills me with horror. I’m moving in with Mum which will make it a bit different, especially as she is starting to need help so I will over time end up taking over all the work of cooking etc. I’ve spent many years perfecting my techniques for cooking for one, now I have to cook for two, plus take into account someone else’s preferences (and dental challenges). A sharp learning curve awaits - along with a major re-evaluation of my kitchen container collection! Hopefully she retains ability to do some cooking for as long as possible though - even if I have to partially pre-pepare meals in advance the idea of being able to go home after work to dinner underway at least occassionally definitely appeals.
I used to make a standard size family recipe and immediately freeze the extra in individual portions to microwave later. It was great even as a single person.
If you guys have a few meals that suit you both that could work.
(You don’t have to eat the same thing every day, you can add different meals as convenient if there’s room)
