this morning is a lazy one. i need to go shower for church, but first, i decided to make some bread pudding out of some old french bread that had to go.
yesterday, i went to one of my estate sales ... i get emails from a lady who has them about once or twice a month. i found a good stash of cooking magazines, a years worth of Cook's Illustrated, and a mag in really like called Cuisine at Home. $3 for about a dozen magazines. there are several recipes in there to try! woo hoo.
anyway, since i have started cooking so much, i have also been washing dishes quite a bit. no. i don't have a dishwasher. i'm sure i'd like one, but not enough to deal with giving up some of my precious cabinet space!
anyway, since i've been domesticated, i have figured out that you better wash dishes quite often if you cook alot. my mom told me that her home-ec teacher in high school said to fill the sink with soapy water WHILE you are preparing your recipe, then it's really easy to clean up. i agree. the thing is, i never know on the weekends what whim will strike me. so, i cook/clean up/cook/clean up/cook/ clean up all day long.
just this morning it hit me that i like looking at my dishes in the dish drainer. and no. i don't dry em. less germy to let them air dry! plus, i like looking at them!
here's to dish drainer art! happy sunday :)

YOu are a silly silly girl! Get a dishwasher! Sheesh
:O)
I have a little portable one that holds only 4 place settings. I put it on top of a wheel cart so it's easy to move over to the sink and doesn't take up counter space. It works really well! My boss found it at a church yard sale last summer for $7! I love it.
wow. i actually do something a home-ec teacher recommended. my kitchen sink is full of soapy water most of the time...just makes life easier.
chris. if i can find a dishwasher for SEVEN dollars, i will buy it :)
carey. i know. i think we are smarter than we look :)
Sillier, too.
Despite our very busy weekend, THE MOOD struck me several times and I ended up with whole wheat bread and chocolate chip cookies. Tomorrow I will try my very first veggie burgers.
