Kokken har kommet. Jeg hentet han på flyplassen for noen dager siden, og innlosjerte han her hos meg. Måtte jo yte litt service siden han kom 4008 kilometer for å ta over matlaging og ha kjøkkentjeneste hos meg noen uker fremover. Så en liten svipptur til Malaga flyplass var det minste jeg kunne tilby. Det betyr at jeg ikke lenger trenger å lage maten min selv. I stedet kan jeg ligge på sofaen og se på at kokken kutter og forbereder, krydrer og steker. For en luksus!
The chef has arrived. I picked him up at the airport a few days ago and accommodated him here with me. As he had traveled 4008 kilometres and was going to do the cooking and provide kitchen service for me for a few weeks ahead I had to provide some service as well. A trip to Malaga airport to pick him up was the least I could offer in return. This means that I no longer need to cook my own food. Instead I can rest on the couch while I watch the chef as he cuts and prepares, seasons and fries. What a luxury!

Kokken min tar på seg mange ulike oppgaver. Men han har en idé om at husarbeid helst bør gjøres tidlig om morgenen, før det blir for varmt ute. I dag var han ferdig med vindusvask og rengjøring av terrassen lenge før frokost. Fint for meg, siden jeg da hadde hyggelig underholdning mens jeg lå på sofaen og lot kroppen våkne. Da han etterpå inntok kjøkkenet for å lage brunsj til oss, ble det en anelse anstrengende for meg også, siden jeg måtte snu meg i sofaen, slik at jeg fortsatt hadde utsikt mot kokken.
My chef takes on many different tasks. However, he has this crazy idea that housework should be performed early in the morning, before it gets too hot outside. Today he was done with the window cleaning and had cleaned the terrace long before breakfast. Nice for me, as I do enjoy pleasant entertainment while resting on the couch allowing my body to wake up. Afterwards, as he returned to the kitchen to make brunch for us it became a little exhausting for me, too, as I had to turn around on the couch to still be able to maintain the view of the chef.

Etter brunsj, som ga energi til en sultne kropper, måtte jeg skjenne litt på kokken. “Det må da gå an å rydde litt stillere”, sa jeg. Han laget ganske mye bråk da han skulle rydde og sette inn i oppvaskmaskina. Stekepanna fikk en ektra dult i kjøkkenbenken. Det kunne virke som kokken hadde lite forståelse for at jeg hadde vondt i hodet. Forståelig nok fikk jeg en unnskyldning da han oppdaget fadesen.
After brunch, which gave energy to hungry bodies, I found myself scolding the chef. “Could you possibly do the cleaning a bit more quiet, please”, I said. He was making a lot of noise as he was tidying and emptying the dishwasher. The frying pan made an extra tap on the kitchen top. It seemed as though the chef had very little understanding for my headache. It is certainly understandable that he apologized profoundly when he discovered the blunder.

Jeg tenkte at det var praktisk om kokken min også kunne ta seg av handleturene, siden han selv vet best hvilke ingredienser han trenger for å kokke, så da måtte han få opplæring i spansk kjøring og parkering. Trillebagen er praktisk når man skal handle med mye drikke i tillegg.
I thought it would be convenient if my chef could take care of the grocery shopping as well, as he himself knows best what ingredients he needs for the cooking anyway. So I had to give him training in Spanish driving and parking. The shopping trolley bag is very handy if you are going to shop heavy stuff like drinks.

Som du sikkert skjønner, har jeg fylt opp planen min med enda mer lading, og mindre aktivitet fremover. Om du ikke har lest om rehabiliteringsplanen min, finner du den HER.
As you can well understand I have filled up my plan with even more charging and less activities onward. If you still haven’t read about my rehabilitation plan you can find it HERE.

Synes du jeg er bortskjemt?
Do you think I’m spoiled?
