AN URBAN MAMA'S TAKE ON NURTURING HER FAMILY

Dishwashers, friend or foe?



We don't have an 'automatic' dishwasher, so most of the time, our sink/countertops looks like what you see above. If you own one of these modern appliances, tell me, I'd love to learn pros and cons. Recently a mama friend told me that a dishwasher saved a friend's marriage - apparently one of the partner's had an aversion to kitchen messes like the one pictured above.

Another modern appliance I'm interested to hear first hand about is the pannini grill. Anyone have one of the many versions out there? It's the only thing I'm thinking of asking Santa to cart over to my kitchen.

I'll be posting lots of pics over the weekend, or as soon as I can find that darned magic cable that downloads pics to the desktop.

Happy Holiday Weekend.

I have had a dishwasher in the many places we lived as an Army wife, however, now that we are retired we bought a home that does not have a dishwasher and both of us are okay with that. No one would ever empty it when we did have one ;)

One of the reasons we moved here to this townhouse is so that we would have a dishwasher. I couldn't take it anymore! And I love to bake and cook everyday throughout the day just as you do. We've never had one so I definitely see the lifesaver it's been. It seems like I was always washing dishes. And now it's so much easier to have a nice kitchen with the dishes put away. All in all a lifesaver. It probably saved my marriage as well. I would say the kids get more excited about "helping" as well.
