I wash as I go on THanksgiving. We have no dishwasher and it just makes things so much easier.
It's a real burden being right so often.

Comedycentral.com finally posted Cooking With Feminists to the video section. Now I need to go watch it another zillion times.

What is even happening?
A word to people wanting to catch-up with BSG via Netflix: Make sure to get BSG: The Mini-series first (essentially a 3-hour pilot which answers most of the questions I've seen here), then Seasons 1, 2, and 2.5. I'm only on Disc 1 of Season 1 now, but I'm loving it and looking forward to catching up to Season 3 on my dvr.
megan, we don't Net Flix. Is the mini-series available to purchase? Do you know, is it included in the S1 DVD box set, if you buy it? What is season 2.5?
When we went to visit my brother, I cooked/washed/dried and put away. At first the washing/drying was sorta novel because I haven't hand-washed dishes since around 1981 (we even have a full size dishwasher on the boat). After about 4 days, I was totally over it though.
This. We've had a dishwasher since around our first anniversary. We worked together when we first got married, and so our deal was I always that I'd cook and he would clean up. When we moved to our second apartment, we needed to buy a fridge, and came out with a dishwasher, as well. When you haven't had to do it for a while, washing dishes is kind of Zen. For me, drying never is, though. It's very much what Nilly said:
I'm sorry, I never understood the logic behind drying dishes. They're going to dry anyway by themselves, right? It's like waving a shirt around and going all "phoo" on it instead of hanging it to dry by the wind, in my eyes.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My heat just kicked on. Finally. I would think snow outside might be a good indication that indoor heat is called for.
On Jericho, I'm disappointed that not!St. Louis ex-cop seems to be a part of a large conspiracy. I think the show could be more interesting without a known/present big bad. I like his kids though. "Who is always going to take care of you?" "Mommy." Heh. As for Mr. Mayor, anytime I can say the last line of your speech before you do, it's really not a good thing.

BSG S1 includes the mini. BSG S2 was released in 2 parts (because of the loooooooooong hiatus), as 2.0 and 2.5. They will also be releasing the entire season in one box, but I don't know when that comes out.

Yup, and I really hate the putting away part. The kids take turns putting away the dishes for part of their allowance. Best money I ever spent!

Jericho...
aurelia, I'm not convinced Hawkins is bad. I mean, he's definitely part of some covert op, and it might be bad the way the CoW was bad, but I'm not sure he's the big bad, or intentionally bad, or part of actual enemy forces.
eta...
Thanks, Jess.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

It is available, but I don't know if its in the S1 set. S2 was broken up into 2 parts: 2 and 2.5 because they were shown several months apart on SciFi. 2 was released before 2.5 started.

Art Crawl!!!
Yes, it's in the season one set. I was IMPATIENT and bought the mini and then bought the season 1 set and guess what? It includes the mini.
Well, then I lent out my season 1 set and was very grateful to have the mini during the LONG LONG time before the first half of season 2 came out.
(Did you try the recaps on the scifi site? They are short and come with pictures.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I don't like washing pots. Scrubbing grease and baked on stuff--yuck. Dishes are fine. Now that we have the fiestaware, I rally like putting them away, because they colors are all so vibrant and I like the way they look all stacked up.
When I was a kid and in college, I hated putting stuff away, and never did. Then I I lived in a TINY studio in NYC for so many years that I got used to putting clothes and laundry away right away. If didn't, my place went from cozy room to claustrophobic pigsty, and I soon learned that taking the 10 minutes to put stuff away led to avoiding hours of feeling depressed.
