12 - Better Living Through Time Travel



This was dinner for the whole family last week. I just wish we had the power of instant preparation and one of those instant-heating ovens so we could get it in under 30 minutes as advertised.

I can dream, can't I?

  1. This is kind of like those hair dye ads that claim they work in "ten minutes"--and show a woman busily rushing about her affairs at home with a wet head full of hair dye.

    The catch is that the 10 minutes is actually how long it sits on your head. The application and mandatory shower afterward take about 40 minutes, combined. So the process still takes an hour.

  2. Oh, and it should be "fewer than."

  3. Now I can't read the AD, but I can put together a complete mean in less than 30 mins from scratch using raw ingredients. Especially with a microwave to do the veg.

    Though I could do much better with 45 mins.

    So I would not rule the AD out just on grounds of exceeding the speed limit.
