Don't Forget to Thank the Cook

Most people dream of or think of having a maid. Wouldn't it be great to live in a clean home that someone has cleaned? Having someone transfer those Chinese leftovers from the white containers into Tupperware? Well, I have opted to give that up and live with an Italian cook instead. The meals are good; he prepares most everything the way *I* like it. If he has a favorite style or flavor that's not to my liking, he portions out some for himself and then seasons it to taste. In over six years I'd say there were fewer than ten meals that were not worthy of saying, "Thank you," for.
