It’s
not the cooking that takes time; it’s the thinking about what to cook, of a decision
to prepare a particular dish that can take hours. The more the family member we
have in the house, the more restricted our choice gets, unless we are ready to
cook separately for each member, and of course there are some families that I
know, who do even that. How difficult it is, when all the members have
different taste, some want food with chilies, some without, some want vegetarian
and some strictly non-vegan, some like it dry and some stew, the list is
endless and it depends on the woman of the house whether she is ready to comply
and please all the members of the house.
It
is easier when you have to cook for just one person whom you love too much –
Yes!
You get that right! It is easy to just cook for yourself.
