The stupid vegetables and the like take forever to cut.
Prep takes forever.
My solution: simplify.
If the recipe calls for like 20 vegetables, I use like 2 that take the least amount of time to wash and cut. I've gotten somewhat faster so I've upped the number, but honestly, recipes are guidelines, not rules. I take what liberties I'm comfortable with and usually my stuff comes out all right.
I must say though, I suck at using strong herbs. Oregano and rosemary are not my friends. I'm working on them. They'll come around.
I suppose simplification is the current the theme of my life. I've been filling it with a lot of unnecessary crap. Get rid of what you don't need* and keep it simple.
*I want to note that I don't just trash everything and add to the already exponentially growing waste that humans produce. I try to recycle or re-purpose the stuff I have. Let us not create such a large carbon footprint, yeah?
