One of my many aunts never used her dishwasher. She enjoyed doing the dishes by hand, as they passed her inspection before going into the cupboard.
Of course, when we were young, my sister and I were the dish-dryers at family events, whipping through them as fast as possible so that we could run up the alley to the next grandparents’ house. We did not savor those moments. However, I did have the chance to savor Saturday evening with friends.
After a delicious meal, we reenacted my aunts doing the family dishes. Washing, drying, organizing, putting away, and then sitting down to discuss movies. (You learn a lot about others from their movie preferences!)
Good times. Thanks, “Pancy.”
I remember the ladies doing dishes after Thanksgiving dinners. 🙂 Typically it was me and my sister-in-laws and no dishwasher so it was quite the opportunity to chat!
Yes! My grandmothers had no dishwashers other than us kids!
