Pat, I despise pounding breasts too...have you tried just cutting
a pocket in the breast horizontally instead to stuff it? That's what I do anymore; I refuse to waste all that time and muscle power only to end up with a hole somewhere in the pounded meat.
The other kitchen task I hate more than anything is deveining shrimp, it's tedious and disgusting.

Making a nice rich beef or veal stock. It's not that I dislike the task....
it's more that I wish there would be more volume at the end for the significant amount of time and expense that goes into the project. It frustrates me.
Another one is tempering chocolate...a bit of a pain ;o)

Cathy, for peeling tomatoes, have you tried the Messermeister serrated peeler? Easy and makes.....
short work of the task. No more hauling out a pan, filling it with water, bringing it to a boil, plunging the tomato into the boiling water for the few seconds needed to loosen the skin, then peeling the now-too-hot-to-handle tomato....what a pain that process is, er was. ;o)

Anything that calls for doing several things at once because....
I don't have much counterspace these days and even less short term memory, it seems.
Washing the kitchen floor! I don't know why, but it always seems to be such a hassle, even though it's small now. Maybe it's because of those things that growl and snap at me.
Finally, although it's easy to do , I grudgingly make pesto. I love it, but have always felt a bit surly making it, ever since the first time I made it. I grew basil one summer, my first summer garden, actually, and had two HUGE bowls of basil leaves! I sailed into the kitchen, picturing myself as lady bountiful, handing out wonderful containers of pesto to all my friends. But....grrrrr, all I got from those huge bowls were two measly, small containers of pesto! Hahahha, I couldn't believe it! It tasted wonderful and I still make it whenever I can find enough to purchase without having to refinance the condo, but whenever I do, I remember that shattered dream of my youth!

I just smash with a smooth rock. I keep the rock on the counter, give it a whack &
off it comes quite easily.
