If you were born (like the subject of the story in Life 17 - The Inexorable Tide of Dinner) in 1947, and were married in 1965. If you then had your first baby in 1966, your second baby in 1968, and your third baby in 1970, and, supposing you were responsible for 3 meals a day (including breakfasts, packed lunches, cooked dinners, picnics, birthday celebrations, dinner parties, invalid meals, sudden arrivals, friends and family, and holiday masterpieces over camp stoves), you will have cooked: 273,050 meals.
I've allowed for your children leaving home at 20 and the occasional illness and meals out. Well done you, that's a lot of dinners. I think you deserve a medal if no one else does!!
