Thanks molten for posting this in forums , cus in the Q&A there is just one response !!!

Thanks all with suggestions. my husband also keeps long hours and often works from home too. I am indian , and i guess all indian ladies out there will empathize with me that our food need sa lot of preparation plus there are few one pot meals. anyways i guess i need to streamline my days a bit more. for sometime i wasted time looking for a cook. hired a few in between too - - but some problems arose ( ahem ahem )

oh goodness, i wish i had some magical powers
