Glad you like it! I'm 55, 56 in October, and just like doing the cooking. My wife knows how to cook, but doesn't really enjoy it. It always just seemed natural for me to do the cooking. Yeah, my home life was a nightmare growing up. Probably why I turned into an introvert. When your environment is chaotic, you retreat to whatever safe haven you can find, even if it's in your own head. I never dated much, and married my second girlfriend. It took, though. Been married since 1997 and going strong. I'm glad you are getting so much out of learning to cook. There is a real sense of accomplishment that goes with it, and the food is so much better than anything poured from a can.
