Repeat three days a week.* Rotate neighbours for lunch duty daily so as to not overwhelm (or eat the same thing every day).

* On Thursdays my classes don’t start until noon, so I head straight for my old host family’s house, and drink tea and watch the kids for my host sister while she does laundry.
