I am not exactly lazy, but I do like to find the easiest way to do things.

I wish I had known this technique to clean pans when I camped!!! I ended up using dirty pans until I got home to clean them with more than boiling some water in them. These days, if there ain't a bed and a bath, I ain't going! Camping was fun, but it got old as I did. I have become a prima dona anymore!
