I do not pre-rinse by dishes. I use the most hardcore dishwasher tabs I can afford whose packaging promises they will clean everything with no effort from me, and anything that is not clean at the end of the cycle stays in to be washed in the next round. It works pretty well. And what I think will be a problem (say, baked on grease) and what actually turns out to be (a thimbleful of coffee that evaporated overnight apparently permanently bonding the brown-ness to the inside of the cup) rarely coincide.
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am in a meeting and disliking it so much. My manager and coworker will cheerfully discuss things to the end of eternity.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Aside from a brief 2 years of grad school, I have never lived in a place that had a dishwasher. If we ever get that kitchen remodel accomplished, we'll get one.

I am new to dishwashers myself. I rinse and scrape off the worst of the food, because it's an older dishwaser, and my only complaint is the hard water spots. Everything comes out acceptably clean.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I only had a dishwasher in 1 apartment back in 1998 or so. It would be nice to have one, but then, we're only 2 people and don't generate that many dishes (as long as I don't let them pile up over several days). I usually do the dishes from the evening before while my oatmeal is cooking in the morning.

I'm so sorry for you people without a dishwasher. Washing dishes is right up there in terms of chores I really hate to do. (Though even with a dishwasher, my husband does the rinsing and loading and whatnot.)

I do handwash pots and pans since they are ceramic and are supposed to last longer if you handwash. Fortunately, they clean up really easily.

Why is everything a process? Why are there so few things in life that are one and done?
Right? I should make more artificial finish lines, for myself, probably.

Me from yesterday:
Need to take out the garbage and recycling and put all the bins on the street but I am tired.
FTR. None of that happened. I got the yard waste bin to the curb this morning, but garbage and recycling will now have to wait two weeks because I'm out of town next Sunday. Which is not the end of the world, but not great.
