Couch Potato Peeling

If I'm going to watch TV for hours a day during sheltering in place, at least I can do something useful.

(Peanut gallery: How is that different from before Covid-19?

Speak only when spoken to, please.)

There are many recipes that call for lengthy prep time, for example, a simple beef stew. The peeling, chopping, and slicing of ingredients require very little thinking, an ideal side task when binging on the latest Netflix series.

I did have to get up from the couch to brown the onions and beef and throw everything into the stewpot. That task only took half an hour.

Now I don't have to do anything useful until Thursday.
