…and, yes, it’s true! I have a dishwasher, but I prefer to wash dishes by hand. This is debatable, as is everything, but I am going to have to say that it appears to be more efficient. But regardless of whether one uses a dishwasher or does it by hand — it’s important to do them.
It’s another one of those factors that can create chaos, if it gets out of hand. Really, really — out of control — if one doesn’t get a handle on keeping up with these kitchen clutterers! You’ll start having uninvited guests showing up. The kind with three and four sets of legs. Plus it will contribute to an unforeseen number of intruders of the microscopic kind. You know what I mean? They just love to take over.
Are you getting my drift, when I say that I am thankful to be able to do my dishes every single day, even though it can get tiring — however, there are times when washing dishes by hand can be a really soothing tactile experience. Yes, really!
So regardless of whether it’s green or not — that’s a totally different issue, than I’m speaking of here. You’ll find a couple of articles that are questioning that, but I plan to tackle that topic at another time. Right now you can experience the relaxing qualities I’m referring to — for those of you that have no idea what I’m talking about — right in your very own kitchen!
It’s a ~ simple little thing ~ to help me get by.
