What happens when the cook becomes ill?

Often one person takes care of all the cooking for the family. So, what happens if that person has an off day or is ill? Does the whole family try and cook? Do you order in? Does the person who is ill order in? Or do the family leave the home and go and eat somewhere else (like their parents or parents-in-law) for example?

I seem to have found myself being Head Chef at home currently even though I didn’t apply for the position. When I don’t cook it is pretty much grab what you can to survive. How does your household deal with it?

P.S. I’d like to resign from being Head Chef any pointers on how to word my letter of resignation? Drafts appreciated!
