Re: Welcome to the future.
There has always been working mothers of three who had time to cook in the past, of course organisation was they key.
Today too many sit on their arses on tinterweb for hours on end,
and then say they have no time.
My mother and mother in law would have kicked my wifes butt off the computer and told her to peel some spuds or descale a fish.

I also used to prepare packed lunches for us all, it's just a case of being organised and not being glued to the TV or sat at the computer until the work is done.
For people to say they don't have the time is just nonsense and laziness, as you can always make extra and freeze it for a day when you really are a bit rushed.

Well I managed to work full time while looking after the family, I cooked a two course meal every single night, always using fresh ingredients not processed rubbish.

even the bread is locally made in little shoppe round the corner.
the only processed items are pate on my sarnies and processed ham on the BH's sarnies.
Oh yes - I have to admit that the marmalade on breakfast toast must be called processed.
its not hard, as you say its all a question of the will and organisation.
and the amount of waste is virtually nil, as any overcook ends up being used the next day or so, usually only the smallest amount of preparation waste.

Even water that comes from a town supply is processed.

Re: Welcome to the future.
You're lucky to live in an area where you can go & buy "Seville" oranges. We cannot buy them here at all; have to go to France for them!!
Have you tried making marmalade? Dead easy, really & with less sugar, plus whisky or coñac added at the end, the best way to start a day.

But nobody calls them Seville oranges of course, you have to ask for naranjas amargas.

Re: Welcome to the future.
We had 3 seville orange trees. I used to make enough marmalade for a year and also some for friends. Despite that we had to throw boxes and boxes away. It was super marmalade, I miss it!

Not sure if it matures for the better or deteriorates with age but it still seems ok anyway.
Always thought there were loads of Seville oranges freely available everywhere, but come to think of it I suppose the climate isn't suitable for them in many inland and northern regions.
