Ok. We had a good talk about it last night. He says ... if he lost me he
wouldn't be interested in cooking at all. He also says that if he lost me,
he wouldn't be particularly interested in anything let alone cooking He
says he would live out of tins and packets. He says he loves my cooking but
would never go to the trouble to make them only for himself.

He would be interested in making things if I were ill, so would like to
learn how to make soups and stews.

So I guess that is that! At least I know he will do the soups and stew
thing.
