There’s nothing I love more, dear readers, than finding out a kitchen task can be skipped.

And my favorite chore to skip is peeling vegetables. At least for now.

The only vegetables my peeler has seen in recent months are carrots and the odd potato.

(I know I could skip peeling carrots, but I don’t like the taste of carrot peels. Fortunately, my kids do the peeling. )

Peeling raw vegetables means throwing out a large percentage of your food, since the vegetable comes off with the peel. Try weighing a pound of potatoes before and after peeling. Un-peeling saves time and money. What could be wrong with that?
