Easily Satisfied--That's Me

Know what's intensely gratifying? Loading a dishwasher when you have to routinely do dishes by hand. No boiling water on the stove because the hot water is all gone, no fishing around for utensils in the bottom of the dishpan and slicing your hand open on an unexpected knife, no hefting a full dishpan up to dump out the water. A dishwasher is like magic! The dishes go in dirty, you press a button, and half an hour later, the dishes are clean. What will they think of next?

Good thing we're going home on Tuesday. I may be in danger of getting spoiled by these new-fangled appliances.

I would live in a tent if it had a dishwasher. Truly the best invention by far. Ever.

We've never had enough water for a dishwasher. It seems kinda wasteful when you are trying to conserve water. But, I can imagine it would be great if you had all the water you wanted at your disposal. Beth

Getting cut by a knife is bad enough, but the thought of getting cut by a dirty knife submerged in a pan of dirty dishwater is really horrifying. So I put all the knifes to soak in an old glass, handles pointing up, and leave them out of the dishpan equation.
