We have been very happy with Jay's food. He cooks for us once a week, covering two meals for our…read morefamily. He is careful, flexible, honest, punctual, and hard-working. He leaves our kitchen just as he found it, except with two wonderful meals in our refrigerator, ready to eat, with detailed reheating instructions. There is always a little bit more than we can eat, so we occasionally invite over a friend to enjoy the food with us, or we have leftovers.
What can I say about the food? Healthy, balanced, creative, and delicious. Grilled salmon with rice noodles, vegetables, and Panang sauce; swordfish Napoleans; grilled chicken breasts with rosemary new potatoes, zucchini, and squash; and simpler dishes, like turkey meatloaf with roasted red potatoes and peas, or chicken enchiladas with rice. If there is a problem, it is that the food is too good, and sometimes we can't help having seconds.
Yes, it is a bit of a luxury, but really the best thing is that we get to enjoy two family meals during the week, when we would otherwise be just barely getting food on the table. From what I understand, research in positive psychology says that spending money in a way that lowers your stress level and gives you time with people you love delivers more happiness than spending money on possessions. We're finding this to be true.
