About to start a slow-braise lamb shank stew. The prep and cooking areas are ship shape.

Ha. Along those lines, one of my goals this year is to spend enough time that I have a similar familiarity, workflow, and persnickety approach in the woodworking shop.

The result of this is that whoever's supposed to make dinner looks at the kitchen and despairs instead of making dinner.
