Not only pay scales, see the difference in prize money for men’s tournament and women’s tournaments – cricket, tennis anything! Everywhere the men get more for the same achievement, and that is just so ridiculous! I do enjoy cooking but I too do that sometimes, but then I make one pot meals like yours instead. Mostly when my children return in the evening they have dalia or cornflakes or oats which my daughter makes on her own. I hope she will grow up and say what you said about your mom:), just be happy that I did not ‘over pamper’ her!!

Rice looks luscious, and I am able to access your blog now. I do not know what had gone wrong, because I did not remove any blocks!!

Bee, i cook like that but i get so sick of the same ol food(DH will gladly eat it)that i end up cooking new stuff again.
Everything is work if you are forced into it. I bet you cook more than your mom and u enjoy it too, but the day u are expected to cook, u will lose the charm of it!!
my DH is the cleaner in my house.I cook but he can clean better than i can!!

I missed this post…but I am so glad that I have found it, read it, reflected upon it and can respond to it.

I LOVE the ode to your mom, and that is exactly what I think it is. She was her own person, and by being that glorious soul she allowed you to become who you are. (Good job, Mom!) Bless both of you! And…to all the unsung heroes that carry on without so much as a, “Thank you!” you bring good that cannot be measured by any yardstick, monetary or otherwise (besides, we all KNEW the REAL numbers and are REMINDED of them DAILY)!
Kudos’ to the women that work their fingers to the bone, day in and day out. Oh, and that doesn’t leave out the stay-at-
home moms, either. There is a time, a place and a reason for each and every one of us. It will be revealed. It really, really will. Until then, we stay united, blessed in the comfort that we do not journey alone.
