I have nothing against my grandpa, but having dinner with him every night is extraordinarily time consuming. We have very little to say to each other on a daily basis (and, for me, that applies to just about everyone I know) so I do a lot of reading on my phone…but there's obnoxious TV in the background.
And our helper's cooking is distressingly bad (we've tried to teach her).
Some days, Soylent et al. look quite appealing.
