Some things are just better when they’re a little drawn out: a Hawaiian vacation, a bubble bath, a Coldplay concert, weekends. Haha. But I bet we all would agree that, when making dinner, it’s usually better that the process is NOT drawn out. Everybody’s busy. Kids are hungry. Homework is calling. Work deadlines are looming. Life is crazy.
