Swings and roundabouts

There was a day, some week or so ago, when I had the best experience borrowing S's Machine.  I think it was New Years Eve.

I lobbed at her place with lemons, flour, sugar, CADA ingredients, and walked away with home-made lemonade, breakfast for a week and perfect pizza dough for 4 pizzas - all in 25 minutes from start to finish including washing up. Costing...? between $2 and $5 maybe?  It was magical.  I left on a huge high and thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful of what I had made.

Tonight I've been chopping, boiling, slicing, whisking since about 10:00pm to make a frittata.  I can't seriously think of any way the Machine would make this job easier.  Sure it might steam the veggies quicker than my boiling did, and so I would only have to swish out the steamer and bowl.  Sure it would be able to chop cheese up and whisk the egg and milk mix together.  But I just can't think of any way the Machine would have reduced the time or workload associated with this healthy, all-ingredients-in-one-mouthful, dish.

I guess sometimes you just have to put in a bit of effort.
