Ideal Bite

When I was a kid, there were all these "grown-up" things I wanted to do. I wanted to stay up really late (I was awake anyway), I wanted to read Huckleberry Finn and write a novel (I was 9 years old), and I wanted to know how to wash dishes.

Don't learn to do something and then do it well, or it becomes your job. Somehow, my brother figured that out early on. He KNEW - innately - that if he did a bad job cleaning the bathroom, then sooner or later, he wouldn't have to clean it. So when it came to washing dishes, I took my cue from Brent: I decided to be pretty bad at it, and thus avoid having to do it altogether. My poor parents - never had a kid who could wash a dish decently (although, I gotta say that I DID do a good job on the bathroom).

Now that I am in the unfortunate position of having to wash my own dishes, I'm a bit more circumspect in how clean they actually are. So, I do actually use the sink. I'm currently loving Sun and Earth citrus dishwash soap during those rare occasions when I actually cook.
