Remember back in the day when people used to wash their own dishes? It's TRUE, they DID! Back before dishwashers. Well, I just did for olde time's sake. Really, I did it because the dishwasher was full and there were too many dishes to just leave. Nothing makes me more angry than walking into the kitchen and seeing a sink full of dirty dishes (J and Dave). Now my hands are all dishpanny, and I got soap suds on my sweater. Why did it take so long for someone to INVENT the dishwasher!?

Which is "greener"? In your research of this, make sure you look at the difference in the soap (ie. phosphates)

Your post is so timely, D. Dave and I were just wondering this am when the maid is coming. Dishes are piled high. And we're only 2 people. Who don't even eat that much at home. *heavy sigh* Someday, when our 100 year old pipes (ok, I'm sure they've been upgraded since the turn of the OTHER century) can handle it, we'll get a dishwasher. Someday...
Clean as you go, people! Clean as you go. :)
Oh, Laura... D has tried to indoctrinate that theory into my head many a time. The problem is, especially after I eat, I get lazy and prefer to lounge rather than clean. And if I did dedicate myself to "clean as you go", I also fear I'd do a disproportionate share of the cleaning.
I am starting to think Dave and I would be much better off with a bar-like rinse sink--you know where they just dunk the glasses in the cleaning solution, then water, then put them on the drying rack?
