> I like to say "I like cooking", but most of cooking is drudgery: peel carrots, potatoes, break down chicken, trim the meat, manage food portion and storage.

Totally. I love cooking. But when I say I love cooking, I mean I love standing over a pot or pan, stirring, tasting, seasoning, and sauteing. Prep work is the worst part, and also often the part that takes the longest.

I love prep work! Cutting down a whole chicken.... chopping, prepping the mise en place. I find it really relaxing. :) seriously. Love the cooking part also too... what I hate is the dishwashing!

Sounds like we need to room together. I don't mind the dishwashing, either (assuming I do it when I'm supposed to; that is, not letting stuff sit and get chunks dried on......YOU HEAR ME, CURRENT ROOMMATES? NO, LEAVING STUFF SIT FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK IS NOT NORMAL).
