Waiting....

If I had the new TV, I could watch TV while watching the Front Door TV Network in Picture in a Picture or Picture outside a Picture (which I'm not sure I even understand yet) but... if I had the new TV, I wouldn't be watching the Front Door TV Network for the delivery guys. It's kind of a catch 22 Sophie's choice kind of deal but not even close.

My house still smells like cooking from yesterday but day old, that's not such a lovely smell any more. Flashbacks to the old housesitosis commercials.

One thing that Chef Anita (from Bushel and Peck Dinners did that was so classy, was the invoice. All made out and nicely printed with the grocery receipts attached. Karen always dared me 'oh I have the grocery receipts if you want to see them' and Tom didn't bother... he'd do all his arithmetic after he finished cooking and hand me a hand written total on a scrap of paper or just tell me as I was writing out the check.

Tonight I think we'll have the manacotti with the caesar salad and garlic toast.

I have to admit, the idea of having a personal chef was a little strange to me, but the more I read about your experiences (good and bad and now GREAT) I'm more intrigued.

I totally get that. When I tell someone that I have a personal chef it sounds so much like Peel Me a Grape. But when I sit down to dinner which all I had to do was heat, and it's awesomely delicious, I think I'm genius.

I bet you could find a personal chef who would peel you a grape!

For many people, Stouffer's or the local supermarket is the "personal chef." They pick up frozen prepared meals, or deli case prepared meals. They save money vs Susan's approach, but not necessarily all that much. For many others, it's a nightly restaurant trip, probably at greater expense than Susan's incurring. I, for one, love this idea. Fresh food that's exactly devised to appeal to Susan? Perfect.
