My dear husband sent this news post from kpic.com to me because it quotes Mollie Katzen, the authoress of the successful cookbook series, Moosewood Restaurants. I do love her work so much. Anyway, it's a nice and rather useful little article as we're all looking to cut corners and stay or get healthy.
I thought this picture of these butcher's knives from a to-die-for (even today) World War I kitchen in a "hunting chateau" called Chenonceau in France is an appropriate photo to accompany this post. It was a well-equipped and systematic setup in the early days of technology. It's a must see if you're ever in the area.
