Please let me cook dinner...

My parents are away on a business trip, and my aunt is staying with me and my sisters. While she may be a nice person, she really, really doesn't have any idea of how to cook. On some diet involving only the consumption of raw vegtables, she makes herself fresh salad every day. The rest of us are not so lucky. She has already cooked most of the meals for the week and frozen them. Tonight we had spaghetti cooked three days ago -not leftovers- but specifically cooked to be eaten three days later. What madness is this? Spaghetti is arguably one of the easiest foods possible to cook. Step 1: Boil water. Step 2: Turn burner down and place spaghetti in water, leave for ten minutes. Step 3: Pour spaghetti in a colander and serve. Why can't she just do that at dinner time? The bread, which was French, was also bought several days ago. French bread is notorious for going hard the day after it's baked. I live two hundred meters from Dan and Whit's. Fresh bread was within easy range of acquisition. I don't mind that you are one some crazy diet in which you can't eat carbs, but think of the rest of us. Cold, tastless mush is not something to look forward too after a hard day of school and practice. Please let me cook.
