Rick: I'm so glad to hear that the worst has passed and the future does not look so bleak. Having plans and goals is the way to go. The only way that you will get the life that you envision.
Your daughter loves you and wants to keep your relationship going. Good for her. Good for you.
OK - so maybe you need to learn to cook in half. Making smaller meals. Years ago when I first got married (age 20) I was given a book "Cooking for 2" that I still use to this day. I love cooking for 2 as it gives me 2 nights of dinner (or 1 when Josh is here). But I'm sure there must be numerous recipes online. And someday you might have a girl to impress with your cooking ability. Trust me - it's very attractive to have a man cook for you (hot dogs and Kraft dinner don't count).
