Why I don't cook more

My cooking is very simple. If I can't finish whipping up the whole meal in half an hour, it usually doesn't work out around here. I'm just not one of those who starts crushing garlic four hours before supper. There are exceptions for things like Thanksgiving, but that typically involves something I can stick in a grill or crock pot and forget. Even then, I use instant mashed potatoes. It took a long time to locate an obscure brand that tastes good.
