| I have done all of the above except the classical music. I find spending time to do meditation is more useful. All of the above, I find cooking is an incredible skill that many people underestimate greatly. Here are the things that I do for my cooking for every week or every two weeks. + 30-45 minutes grocery shopping including driving. + 30-60 minutes per day to cook daily dinner and prepare breakfast. + 10-15 minutes to clean up. And what I think it solves/helps/improve our family daily life: + Food quality is definitely way better than outside. We have good amount of vegetable, fruits, fresh meat/fish/poultry and other dairy products. + Lots of time saving for not going out, spending time waiting, driving, moving the whole family around. + The cost is very low, probably around 1/3 of eating out. We do spend a day or two to eat out or eat carry-out food. While this takes time (months/years) to get a good skill at cooking and minimizing the time, this is so far one of the best skills I have had and I do think people should invest in it. |

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. For newcomers to the book, I highly recommend the cheese enchiladas recipe and the anticuchos recipe. Anticuchos are not authentic Tex-Mex but they are very much tied to San Antonio and that recipe is probably the best in the book if you make it with good quality steak.
