I'd actually cut her a little slack on that one. Nurses work 12 hour
shifts. I don't know a single one that does not. Shortcuts in cooking
are inevitable in that field. From reading other cooking that she does,
Goomba is not lazy.

I just do what mom does and make fresh frozen lemon juice so I don't
have to compromise. I really cannot stand reconstituted lemon or lime.

I only work 12's if I work weekends. I worked every other weekend for 18
years. I only got off weekends when I agreed to pull full time night
shift during the week and I still occasionally pull weekends as needed
when people need time off.

If I agree to work some off hours for others when they want to take
vacation time, I get paid back as they will, in return, do it for me. :-)
