A live-in cook?

[helwen]

I've thought about this a few times over the past few years, and today the thought came about again. I do enjoy cooking, but with all the various projects we have around here, it's often difficult to find time to cook from scratch. When we're both really beat we just have cereal for dinner... Part of the problem also is that I work until at least 6pm on Tues & Wed and until at least 7pm on Thurs, so by the time I get home I'm not terribly interested in doing much. So, the thought was, if I only charged $50-100 per month for room and board, what's the likelihood I can get a cook (someone we know, being the very strong preference). Silly thought, but in order to cook healthy meals for lunch and dinner I like to have an hour for prep, cooking, and cleanup for each meal. Ah well, unlikely, but a pleasant fantasy. Tomorrow I need to start getting up earlier in the a.m., so that I might at least have time to make a decent lunch after doing all my other stuff.

Tomorrow I have to pot some chives, bottle some of the sage I dried, and write descriptions of same for the fundraiser at EKU.

Also thinking about other things, like spending more time painting, both on paper and on ceramics (Odbald's been doing his best to get me into doing it, and it is a lot of fun). Might be time to get more serious about art again...

If you find this person, ask if s/he'll come to my place or twice a week. Or if they're willing to vacuum and dust in exchange for garb. Really.
