@nainaztengra, your post is a wonderful slice of life and so relatable! It's charming how you openly share the dependence on your cook and the mix of feelings – the slight panic with the freedom to experiment in the kitchen. I especially appreciate your honesty about the realities of cooking, from grocery runs to the energy drain from prep work.

The resilience you show, especially with managing your sciatica, is inspiring. I hope the bed rest helps and that you're back to feeling your best soon! The chicken and chili oyster sauce sounds delicious (even without the picture!), and I'm sure your hubby will appreciate your efforts. Wishing you a swift and comfortable two weeks filled with minimal pain and perhaps some surprisingly delightful culinary discoveries! Thanks for sharing such an authentic glimpse into your daily life!
