Congratulations. Retirement is great. It beats the heck out of working.
I have been retired for 7 years now and I haven't been bored. The only
time I resorted to watching day time TV was last year when I was
recovering from surgery. I couldn't wait to get well enough to do
something else.

You're right about delivery. If it were me, I might be willing to
occasionally cook something. If someone expected me to cook for her on a
regular basis I would be expecting her to be paying for the ingredients.
Delivery???? Do you have "sucker" tattooed on your forehead? No way.
It is very generous of you to prepare food for her, but if she can't
be bothered to come and get then she is seriously taking advantage of you.
