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).
