Lesson Learned

The following are things I should have learned from watching hours and hours of The Food Network but am too lazy and/or too vain to have implemented.

1. Always use a bowl three times larger than you think you are going to need. ALWAYS.
2. Do not pay attention to the stray bits of lemon peel or celery that go flying about the room while chopping. It will innterrupt your flow and you might cut your finger.
3. Get the cool gadget. You'll only use it once, but it makes that one job so much easier and you won't dirty 12 other dishes to accomplish the task.
4. Have 'staff' to clean up after you and do your dishes.

This is me and I should have listened to Bobby Flay.
