Home Cooking

When I was a kid, having take away or eating out at a restaurant is a real treat which did not come often, alas how the world have changed...My girls get excited when they learned that I am cooking,and would come home for dinner-Mother's cooking!! In some way it is sad and it reflects how society has changed for women, especially working women in the west.

I am a full time career woman in a physically demanding job, who also happens to work a second job. Being a single parent, I do not have the luxury of a partner to share the household chores, so there is always mountains of work waiting to be done;cooking is the last of the job I would consider ;as it is often cheaper and less time consuming to go out for a chinese takeaway which is fairly nutritious. The kids, no matter how old they are, still like to have "home cook " meal laboured by the poor mother who has laboured all day,who had to rushed to the crowed supermarket, fought the people in the queue, and rushed back to cook this precious meal called "mother's home cooking"...! which turned out no much different from the take away.
