I love to cook, but I don't have much time for it. I have live-in help who's been with my family for years and knows exactly what we want, so I don't waste time telling her what to do unless she asks, which is rare. We (my husband and I) mostly order groceries and even meat and fish online, because neither of us is really into all the check-beneath-the-gills kind of stuff and the last time he went to get his meat fresh from the butcher a cleaver stuck his foot and he had to get stitches, so that suits us just fine.
On weekends I usually spend a couple of hours making something special like mutton curry, or try to make something new and unusual using a recipe, but that's about it. I feel blessed to have my J didi taking care of us, I truly do.
