For How Many Persons Do You Cook at Home?

We are only 2 at home, my hubby and me but what I always cook is for more than 2 persons. We always have leftovers to be eaten for the next day or I freeze it for later use when I am not in the mood to cook.
Since last week, I don´t have to eat often leftover. I told my son that if he likes, he can collect what I cook so he doesn´t have to cook at home or orders anywhere when he has no time as he is busy at work. Well, he comes after his jogging almost every evening to collect his dinner.
It was a good idea that came into my mind so I could see my son often although with social distancing.
Anyway, I am happy about it. I see him often and I am sure that he is not eating junk food for dinner.
Thanks for reading. The photo is baked spaghetti bolognese for tonight's dinner.

@LadyDuck The concept of 'al dente' is rarely obeyed in other countries. I remember eating slimy pasta in London in a restaurant with an Italian name. The cooks weren't Italians, though, as we found out later. This taught us! We didn't go to so-called Italian restaurants again. The same for the USA!

We have a family of 4 here (Hubby, me, and our 2 kids). But sometimes I cook extra to deliver to my parents. Or if our leftover portions are too small for another meal, I will just give that to my parents since it is just the 2 of them. Your baked spaghetti looks so yummy!

Just the two of us, but sometimes I feel like I'm cooking for more, I have learned not to cook such big portions as they just go to waste.

I feel like cooking for more, too @hillhjill. So usually, the leftover would be eaten the next day or it will be frozen for later use. Thank you.

Usually just myself but when friend comes down I cook for him, and once in a blue moon for roomie, but mostly we just share food we have bought elsewhere, and we only do that like once a month.
