The dishwasher was doing something which means we're washing dishes the old-fashioned way for a few days. It's not true that old habits die hard. I hand washed dishes for many more years than I've let the dishwasher do the work but I'm definitely a dependent now. Oh, heck, we don't even have a dish drainer.
Off to get my hands all prune-y...
That is definitely not fun!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my world! Except I really enjoy doing dishes. It's my time to slow down yet feel productive. There's nothing like scrubbing a pot after a frustrating day!
ReplyDeleteYipes, did dishwasher burn up? Are you getting it repaired or getting a new one? We have never had a dishwasher. We have the drainer on the counter.
ReplyDeleteHow quickly we get used to comfort, don't we?
ReplyDeleteI had to hand wash dishes (my husband dried them) a few years ago when our old dishwasher had washed its last dish. And then we went for maybe a year before we got a new one. It was like Christmas and birthdays all wrapped up into one beautiful present when we finally had the new one installed.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't had a dishwasher since we moved into our beach cottage two years ago. Most times I don't mind but sometimes........
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a window to look out of?
Do you have one of those Maytag "firestarter" dishwashers? No kidding. I've been hearing about it on a couple of other blogs.

In the meantime, invest in a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands from the ravages of dishwater! =D
Or paper plates till the new dishwasher comes??
ReplyDeletesink is a messy place!
ReplyDeleteAlthough we have a dishwasher, we rarely use it. So washing dishes by hand is normal for us!!
