We hit upon a solution that we have not been able to implement, since we live 500 miles apart, but here it is anyway: You need at least one *close* friend who also lives near by. The operative definition of 'close', in this case, is someone you like to see on a very regular basis, and someone you trust. You each choose one evening a week when you will prepare dinner for two, and so you may eat at your friend's house on Monday nights, and you may have your friend over for dinner on Thursdays. You could do this with more people, but personally, I would not want more than three in the group. Some advantages: 1) If you tend to be a workaholic, at least two nights a week you have a good reason to drag your rear end home on time. 2) At least two nights a week, you have a high probability of eating something for dinner besides cold Cheerios.
