so this is how you have a full time job, a personal life, a family life, hubski, art, and the many, many other things you do… the secret is out!I often find myself resenting the time and effort that I have to put into food,
How the... what...? Twenty-five hours? You don't have breakfast, so that's 107 minutes per meal (or three hours supermarket time per week and 87 minutes per meal). What are you making -- roast turkey? I cook dinner form scratch a few days a week. Any longer than 30 minutes to cook and 20 to clean and I'm annoyed. Lunch is ten minutes of cooking and five of cleaning. I would like to understand how you cook.
Oh, not me, but my wife comes close to it. She likes to have three prepared meals a day. Also, she likes Chinese food, which takes a lot of prep, mostly cutting vegetables. Dinners take more than an hour from beginning of prep to the end of clean up, and breakfast and lunch are probably near an hour each.
Because my wife works slightly later hours than me on a consistent basis, I do almost 100% of the cooking. A lot of days it feels like by the time she gets home and I get everything prepped and made, we wrap up at 10:30 and the night is pretty much done. Easily the biggest time sink on my personal time every weekday. I'm lucky because I really like food I guess, but when I have things to do it's rough because I can't opt out, -I have to feed her :)
