If I understand correctly, he can't cook himself and gets others to do it for him. But I sadly yet gladly will do so sometime...I receipes specially for beginning with which still taste good. ^_^

Two now (I don't know why I thought she was a third), but the new girl is likely to become sole cook. She's an amazing cook, and really lovely too. Also, I can't afford to pay two cooks anymore.

If you want to full list of my 'household staff' then there's my laundry girl who does my shirts (she's a miracleworker with stain removal, but short on time as it's her final year at uni) and technically I've a sort of sommelier, a chap to manage my wines.

Luke (moomba666) was my 'butler' at school, but was really more like a PA crossed with a batman. Great chap also, thoroughly so.

Go and learn to cook. And thats an order.
It's almost fun.

I'm no good at cooking and have never enjoyed it. Other people love it though, so surely having them cook for me supports the greater good? Surely?

Whyever not? Seems reasonable, surely?

Still getting someone else to cook for you.

You get someone else to grow your food, I presume, even if you do cook it yourself. No?

Don't you get someone else to make your clothes?

Just as your time is too valuable to spend time making clothes, growing vegetables and butchering animals, mine is too valuable to learn to cook. If that changes, I might learn, but I just don't value the skill in myself.

It must be really nice to afford to do that. >_>

It's a basic life skill.

And my ma's a farmer, more food produced than consumed so the food balance is in my favour. If I could get the sewing machine to work I would give the whole clothes thing a shot. As it is purses and bags have to suffice

If your time really is that valuable I have nothing against doing it on occasion. But time spent not doing anything more than surviving is time well spent IMO. Reflection and all that.
