I love it when I’m reading a recipe and it gives an estimated prep time. Because it’s always CLEARLY a lie. I don’t know which aspect of the prep time they’re measuring, but it’s not ‘how long would it take the average person to start from the actual beginning.’

Ten minutes is what the recipe I’m looking at for this morning tells me for prep time. I’m pretty sure that assumes that your strawberries and rhubarb come pre-washed and pre-cut, and possibly that you are a magician.

On the plus side, I highly recommend the crock pot / slow cooker approach to cooking. At least it takes out the whole ‘hanging around watching the food cook’ part of things.
