I tried something new tonight: a produce prep time.  First, I scrubbed the kitchen sinks, then I scrubbed and washed all of the new refrigerated fresh produce(both fruits and vegetables) in aVeggie Wash solution, rinsed all of it with filtered water, and finally, I bagged all of the clean produce into clean plastic bags, some of which are "vegetable" bags with air holes, that I bought years ago and have seldom used.  This way, when it is time to cook or eat, it won't take very long to prepare food for cooking.  Since the equipment is already out of the cabinets, it's easier to get the prep over with for maybe a week at a time.  I didn't seem to be able to do this during USD prep week, but it would certainly have helped if I had done this.  It took awhile to clean all of this produce, but I will really enjoy having it later this week.  

 For this process, I use several colanders, and several large bowls, preferably those made from glass or stainless steel.  Last week, I bought a somewhat inexpensive stainless steel colander, with a larger capacity than what I already had, and that speeds up the process considerably.  Since I was having a possible reaction to the Veggie Wash earlier, I have started to rinse the clean produce 2 times using filtered water in the sink, covering the produce with water each time, and swishing it around.  Since I have been doing that, I have had no more difficulties.
