Either or? Nah, cook intelligently, put things in crock pots or roast for long times. Make spaghetti sauce by the gallons and make chicken parm, or bought ravioli, or whatnot. I multi-task to the fullest and eat well. Never have enough time to quilt but that might have something to do with my day job. Get some cookbooks on cooking for two with recipes that take less than a half hour. Buy rotisserie chicken at the store and find a dozen ways to use it in casseroles. As for daughters who come over to eat??? Change the locks or just leave the raw ingredients out for her to use. tim in san jose
