I mostly cook when my mother lets me. As you probably know, how mothers are in south asia. But mine taught me cooking almost all Bengali food and I can do a decent job. Even on most complex dishes.
The cost of food can be cut down in any part of the world, as nowhere is entirely poverty free. People find ways to support themselves.
P.S. I don't like to read recipe posts on hive. They feel too mechanical.
ahh..amor.. I told you, I often sense, there is someone waiting for you....
See, things come out even from text :).
Oh, I know very well how moms are over there!
Of course there is no fun in reading recipe post on hive. Most people don't know how to write in a funny positive way to make it interesting. Perhaps this is where we can at least comment and request this within the community. I am not sure if that will help, but at least we will vent our collective guilt about not speaking soon enough.
