yeah, i have to pull myself out of cave to go cook, but having to eat at certain times of day helps keep me on track. wish I had a dishwasher though.
Well, quiltncrazy, it's like this. I don't know how many dirty dishes you have, but this is what do. (I had a portable dishwasher when my kids were here, but as soon as they left the nest, I got rid of it so I could have a little more space in the kitchen.) Since I've been quilting (and retired), I wash dishes only ONCE a day -- usually at night after our evening meal. During the daytime, I rinse and stack as the dishes are used. So there is no smell and it doesn't look so bad. (Not that I care. :lol: ) So when I'm preparing the evening meal, I put the dishes soaking in hot sudzy water and clean up as I cook. If anyone comes in and doesn't like what they see, let them visit someone else. My friends haven't complained. Most of them do projects also (sadly enough, not quilting).
On weekends, of course, if I prepare a meal for the clan, we clean up after the meal. (And we use a lot of paper products. :U)
