[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is something in the DNA of Americans that you should never spend much on food. They will spend on vacations, country clubs, houses, maids, gardener, pool cleaner, pet walker but the minute you hire a personal chef, you are a profligate wasterel. That is why the US has such bad quality food and school lunches are crap. Money cannot be spent in food. You guys are seriously messed up. Get the personal chef. Eat healthier and enjoy your life. [/quote] huh? Im the poster with a 25hr/wk housekeeper. A chef for us would be an absolute waste. I come home each evening to a fridge full of fresh vegetables that have all been washed, peeled, and chopped. My meats are all marinated or sliced if I'm doing stir fry or soups or whatever I'm not trying to manage a chef to do what i can and enjoy doing in 20min time. Last night was grilled chicken legs that were marinated since Monday, grilled broccoli (that i didnt have to wash or cut myself) and baked sweet potato. None of these foods i had to physically buy myself. We then loaded the dishwasher and left for a bike ride. Today my housekeeper will unload all those clean dishers, i will come home to a spotless, organized home and do it all over again. A chef in the mix would be pointless. I don't need a chef to stand at my grill while i sit at the table and wait to be served and I'm sure as hell not microwaving my dinner.[/quote] I think the PP was speaking to the OP, not you. Seriously, why would you think this was about you.[/quote]
