It's been a very busy week and, as a result, i haven't been able to keep up on my chores at the apartment. To help catch up, i thought i would try something new. I gave my dishwasher a go.
I've never used one before. When i was growing up we never had one, nor did my first apartment (where i even got the hang of doing the dishes in a single sink). So for the past year and a half at my current residence, i just continued to do them by hand because i seemed to have that down. I never saw the need to use the dishwasher. Plus, i was a bit scared of it as well; i never understood how you were supposed to use it. I'm also familiar with the term "dishwasher-safe" which would imply that there are things that are not dishwasher safe and i wouldn't know the difference.
In the end my dishes seemed to come out alright. There was a pan i had to watch by hand, but everything else seemed clean enough to eat off. I think i may even use it again sometime.

Posted by: Kristi S not M at January 30, 2005 12:31 AMI'd never used a dishwasher before sometime last year. Never thought I'd needed one, since doing them by hand is easy and doesn't take much time.
Then I realized the true benefit of the diswasher: Storage!
It's like a whole 'nuther cupboard that occasionally cleans my dishes for me.
