I really enjoy having a cook. In my job I have to cook for many all the time so no cooking is a true vacation for me. However I know I could cook cheaper.
Where we stay they ask for 30.00pp per day. seems like a lot to me.
Jim and I are not big eaters. Fruit and eggs, toast for breakfast, tuna or cheese sandwich for lunch, chicken or fish for supper.
The trouble with me is I have yet to see a receipt for the food.
Also one day a woman with a few items for sale stopped by and I bought a couple of things. As she was leaving she said something curious...and I quote " Spend your own money" ....nothing more was said.
Was she trying to tell me something? There has never been any $ left from the food kitty.
This year we will be with my brother and his wife, so the $ has to be accounted for.
We will be insisting on all food and drinks receipts.
So we will see how it goes.
Anyone else have any insight our experience with cooks?
With all that said I LOVE having a cook.......makes me feel like a "queen for a week"
