I'm astonished at reading that that you find so labor-intensive a simple
two-lines and 5 minutes recipe, maybe we have different cooking habitudes

No, you obviously don't have huge problems falling asleep. I have
to turn the lights off for a half hour before I want to be asleep,
to trick myself. Putzing around in the kitchen, not a recipe for me
to fall asleep.

I certainly don't think it was labor intensive.

Ah, I see: the issue is not the recipe but waking up. Maybe I'm a lucky
sleeper

Exactly. Maybe if, after I cooked up some pasta for myself, I
hit myself over the head with the pan, I might go to sleep.

Sure sounds like it.

I understand what Nancy is saying. I've suffered from insomnia for years.
Doing any actual cooking at midnight, five minutes or otherwise, would wake
me up completely. Of course I don't usually want to eat at midnight,
either. <S>
