Pippin:
We've gone from four to two. Not so drastic, but I've had to adjust. There's
a lot I can do on the stove at once: 
hard boil eggs, make 4 cups of oatmeal at a time to reheat in the microwave, 
poach chicken breasts, then freeze the meat and the stock, while I've got half 
a pot roast (freeze the other half) in the oven.

Anyone got any other tips?
