      This may not be just a joke. Since I was divorced several years ago, I’ve been enjoying making new foods in new and interesting ways. However my kids are in college and it’s tough to keep the interest/motivation without a regular set of customers. I’ve been seriously considering try to find or start some sort of dinner club

        Might try your local YMCA or community college for that. Then there’s always volunteering at a homeless shelter, women’s shelter, or similar if you’re up for that kind of thing (which I’d expect would require a certain fortitude to deal with the likely depressing situations people winding up at such places come from).
