She mentioned that she has a meal card and isn't cooking much right now. Skidmore added that even though she doesn't have to worry about preparing her meals, she still enjoys cooking. 'I like taking it (the food) to people when you're done,' Skidmore said.

McKinley Pugh turns to spaghetti as her go-to meal. 'I like it, it's easy, it doesn't take thought or courage,' Pugh said. She said she buys angel hair pasta rather than regular spaghetti because it cooks faster. Pugh added that putting salt in first makes the pasta taste better and said sometimes her pasta goes without sauce. 'Some days I'm too lazy to do the sauce, so I just do parmesan cheese. I'll put butter in if I can find it,' Pugh said.
