I cook every day for myself and son for the evening meal. Today it is sliced beef with safran rice and a nixture of peppers. The rice is still cooking, but only needs about 10 minutes, In the meanwhile my son has arrived home from work so everything is under control. There was a time, when the kids were at home, that I cooked daily for two adults and four children. Today there is no stress and i quite enjoy cooking, especially as I have a wonderful herb bed in the garden.
