Hi Shawn,

 RH> Last night there were manybe 4 hand wash dishes after supper; I said
 RH> that I would do them after "Jeopardy". Next thing I know, he's washing
 RH> them up for me--sweet!

 SH> Awww that's very nice.  We take turns here whoever feels like doing
 SH> them after supper does them.  It's about even to be honest, as Friday
 SH> and Sat is my weekend, so I normally do them 3 times each day then,
 SH> and during the week she would do 3 or 4 of the 5 days.

I'm the one that usually does them, and, for the most part, it's not a
problem. Every so often after I've cooked up a better than usual meal
they can be overwhelming--until I load the dishwasher. Then I usually
only have a relatively few hand wash dishes, mostly pots & pans, knives
and other such stuff. Steve always washes up the cast iron.


 RH> We're not 100% happy with the store bread but it does save some time
 RH> and energy, not sure how much money is saved, if any. The taste of the
 RH> home made is so much better, but the time and effort (especially the
 RH> latter) are important as well.

 SH> So true.

Sometimes I wonder how I got as much done as I did when I was younger.
Different priorities now that I'm older, I guess. Didn't get into Fido
until 1994, then (and now) only select echoes. The girls were home and
did some of the things I do now; Steve was still full time Army then.
Bread baking then, and when I do it now, is still a burst of activity to
mix it up, time away to do other things while it rises, then a few
minutes to shape it. Walk away while it rises, then a couple of minutes
to put it in the oven. Half an hour later, take it out. A lot of time to
do other things while still making bread. (G).

....  It works!  Now, if only I could remember what I did.
