I can't start every post this month with "Oh crap what did I get myself into?" - can I? But, really, I feel like I have nothing to say. Except...I am very, very, very grateful for our dishwasher. I made a North Indian vegetarian (mostly vegan, actually) mini-feast for dinner his past Shabbat, and nearly every dairy pot and pan in the kitchen has something adhering to the interior. (It perhaps would not be so bad if I'd bothered to rinse out the pans as I went along, but who has time for that on a Friday this time of year?) Add to that dinner plates, dessert plates, and utensils for five people, not to mention servingware, and you have a pretty decent pile of dirty stacked next to the sink...and on the passthrough...and on the stovetop... And who wants to waste a motzei Shabbat scrubbing dishes, when there are so many other, more enjoyable things to do. Like post drivel to meet the requirements of NaBloPoMo.
Perhaps tomorrow I can get myself to talk about politics.
lucky. i'm still waiting for e to do the dishes. we still have a broken dishwasher. it was broken when he moved in 4 years ago (not to mention the kashrut issue). i went to grad school this term instead of redoing the kitchen. (sadly my tuition was actually slightly less than the cost to redo a kitchen that i measure in inches) *sigh* i dream of dishwashers and my own washer/dryer.
I'm jealous. I spent Sunday afternoon doing the dishes from Shabbos lunch. (They were mostly rinsed off immediately, so not as gross as it sounds.) And I cooked on Thursday night, so got to wash off all of the cooking pots and pans then.
I can't even imagine what it must be like to have a dishwasher!
