Having a live-in helper is cool, very cool. Tonight she prepared my first meal and it was far better than anything I had in the hotel restaurants during the previous week or so.
Perhaps its just my "un-refined" taste buds. Afterall, it was only a simple chicken/veggies on pasta dish.
Or maybe it was the act of enjoying a meal without any "I cook, you clean"
clauses attached.
Regardless, it reminded me of a famous Mel Brooks line from the movie History of the World Part 2. "Its good to be the king", was his mantra as others served his every whim.
While I may not be any kind of supreme ruler, in the Kingdom of Flat 34A having a helper certainly makes me feel like royalty.
Steven
