Dishwasher

We have a pretty good machine and I buy expensive pellets of wash chemicals.  But one thing it doesn’t do is empty itself.  The dishes, glasses, bowls and silverware have to be put back in the various places we keep them when the dishwasher is finished.   That task is for a pair of hands connected to a brain that knows where things are kept.

There are times when the meal was simply too big: too many diners, too many sorts of dishes and too many of each type to fit into a single load.  So, we run the machine more than once but that means, again, that the first load has to be emptied before loading in the 2nd load.  For a good many years, we did it all completely by hand.  We didn’t own a dishwasher.  This one has shown itself to be worthwhile and is one of the machines that gets run the most.
