Dirty Dishes

I know most folks expect me to write about food or other stories from my Carondelet Kitchen. I was struck the other day about the “elephant” in the room which is the dishes that mound in my sink every time I bake or cook.

Big Guy is awesome at being my sous chef or taking over grilling duty but doing the dishes has never been in his wheelhouse. I used to laugh when I traveled and would come home to clean dishes on the drying rack which could have easily been put in the dishwasher. To this day, he has never used the dishwasher and does not know how to turn it on.

I share this story not as a beef but as one funny story. The motto here is if I cook, I do the dishes. If Big Guy cooks, I do the dishes. I can live with that knowing he will clean windows, floors, and that dreaded bathroom. I married a good one!
