Hey, I&#39;m going to have to wash that anyway, it&#39;s sitting right there, and I won&#39;t need it until later in the cooking process.<\/p>\n<p>My recent &quot;Fresh &amp; Local&quot; newspaper columns have been about keeping it simple, saving time, and doing more home cooking. Chatting with non-cooks I realize that cleaning up is one reason they don&#39;t cook. So I&#39;ll start to share some of my ways to keep it simple in the kitchen and get the job done with less time, equipment, and clean up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Posts:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonzest.com\/tips\/\" target=\"_self\">Tips &amp; How To&#8230; <\/a><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><em>&#0160;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><em>Do you have an Amazon Gift Certificate to use?
