Yet right now, here in Scotland, I found myself having the opportunities to prepare meals for others and increasingly, am enjoying it more with each meal and feeling totally relaxed.
My friend's home has a lovely kitchen with all the utensils, appliances etc that you would need. 
The first dish I prepared was a vegetarian red curry. Was a little stressed cos' first time cooking for my friend M and her daughter.
The second dish was a Thai Green Curry and it was easier this time round because I relaxed and enjoyed the process.
As always, easy to whip up a meal for myself. Eggs always make me happy too. :)
Salads are easy to prepare and that's why, I am reluctant to pay $$$$$ for salad at a restaurant unless it's exceptional.
Our friend S came over for a visit and gave us curly kale fresh from her own garden. It's her first harvest and we were all so very proud of her. It's the first time I have heard of curly kale but by this time, I was totally at ease about preparing meals for others. Googled and found a recipe for sweet potato, leek and curly kale soup.
The curly kale was delicious and it made us feel very healthy too with it rich dark green.
There were some asparagus in the fridge so decided on a asparagus and orange salad. Very simple to prepare, under 15 mins.
Today, M and I fancied having Salmon for dinner. After I completed a distance healing session for a client in Singapore, I checked Epicurious for a recipe and found one that has a pistachio dressing which was unusual. Chose that and started to prepare. No pistachio so I substituted it with walnuts and almonds. Chop chop, slice slice and fry fry. In less than 30 mins, our meal was done -- Pan fried salmon with walnut and almonds dressing.
Preparing meals for others have become relaxing for me. And I am utterly enjoying it!
