Fresh Start for a New Year? Let’s Begin in the Kitchen - Readers' Comments - NYTimes.com: "Complaining about how one has 'no time' is simply contradictory to the entire thesis of Mark Bittman. His whole point is that one ought to take the time, because it will make your life better. Instead of allowing the kids to scoot around the kitchen, teach them how to cook with you. Allow them to engage with food and discover its many flavors. Some of the best moments in my marriage are spent cooking with my wife, learning together. For those worried about affording these things, try a small herb garden to start with. My family has a large operation, but I also have a few pots on the back porch for the essentials: basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, thyme, thyme, mint, sage, etc. If you harvest once in the peak of warm summer weather and dry those herbs, and harvest once more in autumn, you will have plenty of good dried herbs that you do not have to buy and that taste very good throughout the winter.
Time is what you do with it, and life is about sacrificing some things for others. Mark Bittman is about sacrificing a little to gain a whole lot, and his approach does work. Food is important, and passion for life goes well beyond merely feeding the kids."
