Dishwasher?

[Cook Chatty Cathy]

I absolutely LOVE my automatic dishwashers, I really think the dishes come out sanitized as there's NO WAY could I ever put my hands in water that HOT!!!

Yeah, it's also good for times when someone in the household has a cold or the flu.

You are 100% correct about that Big "D"!!! It does make a difference. I simply am spoiled and will never go back to hand washing dishes...EVER! My fiance he was determined to continue washing by hand and he stuck to that for quite a long time, then as time went by he gradually got to liking not having to wash, dry, and put away every time. Now he unloads in the day and I load and set the clean cycle every night!

I STILL wash dishes by hand. Just did earlier today.

I mainly use the machine when I cook. That way, the dirty dishes can go right in the machine and when it's full, I wheel it over to the sink, hook it up and turn it on.

I love to cook, but I hate the cleanup! Especially if a big dinner is made, so I don't do big dinners now. Takes too much out of me, as I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, so I can't overtax myself too much.

But I DO make simple small meals or one-pot meals which I like a lot!

Thank God we can cook in so many ways -Big meals - small meals - quick meals - very intense and complicated meals - easy meals...etc. that is one of the things I so love about cooking!!! It is versatile and you can change it up however you like!

I hate to hear you have a heart condition, glad you can take it easy and still enjoy being in the kitchen!

Yeah, I'm on disability and can't do any more hard-core labor.

I DO have a volunteer job tutoring small children at one of Boston's public schools.

[Cook Chatty Cathy]

That is really great!!! So I see you are from Boston! I visited there once and I liked it! Too cold for me in the winter time though!!!

[Big Daddy's Kitchen]

Yeah, winters here ARE (((((bone-rattling))))) cold!! Yeah, I've lived here all my life.

I personally find dishwashers a nearly-worthless contraption. I do recognize they are great for sanitizing- but that's about the extent of their value to me. I have a dishwasher in my condo- but I store large bowls and platters in it... Have never used it even once in 7 years!

Here's a controversial thought I'll throw out to try and stir things up with: I believe dishwashers are inventions of men to fool and wrongly/falsely con women to believe that they (the men) have an simpathetic/empathetic desire to see the work-load of housewives reduced! What a lie!

Dishwashers increase work! They turn a 10-minute task into a 90-minute chore! In the time it takes to wash one load in a dishwasher- I can hand-wash that load, prepare, eat and cleanup after ANOTHER whole meal... AND take a nap! Ha!
