Although I am seldom happier than when I am in the kitchen, not everything I prepare is elaborate and time-consuming. Take Monday morning’s breakfast – if you have hard-boiled eggs on hand (and I usually do), it takes about 5 minutes to prepare; it contains foods that are usually available in my kitchen; and cleanup is a breeze – a knife, a cutting board, a spoon, and a bowl. (I try to boil eggs a dozen at a time so that they are always around.)
