How do people have the time to spend that many hours in a week watching TV? Maybe people watch TV while they cook? wake up to it? go to sleep to it? And this is an average? I do have one friend with a TV in her kitchen who watches it as she cooks and eats, so maybe that counts for the hours, sort of background noise. As for quick recipes, I do think it is helpful to have several of those in one's repertoire for the daily meals when one is too busy or too tired to spend a lot of time cooking. I've seen how my working women friends with kids truly have very little time for anything (including TV). They have to be ultra-organized to put out tasty, nutritious meals for their families day after day. I do wish I observed more couples sharing in this work, but the reality is most of it invariably falls to the woman. Glad you liked the recipe! I could never get my arms around that TV statistic.
