Cook's Notes

Prep time: 1 side of a record. Eye the proper amount of H20 (ain't nothin' like water, if God made anything better, he kept it for hisself!!)...

Cook on High from the time you finish your morning coffee 'til the time you open up a bottle of red wine. Substitute organic ingredients where possible.
