The only problem with having to cook it first, or even of including 
sizes, etc., is that I travel for work and don't have access to a 
kitchen except on weekends, when I'm working on other things.  We 
shouldn't cut people out of this game because they don't have a 
kitchen/money to buy the ingredients/time to try recipes.  To be honest, 
for me the translation is more then half the battle....

Caitlen Ruadh, who is trying very hard to get a job that will NOT 
involve traveling, and who needs all of your best wishes and positive 
thoughts for the interview tomorrow!
