Doing Dishes



I am continually downsizing. The trunk of my car is jammed full of stuff to give away.

I'm thinking about giving away my china and some of my stemware. Beautiful dishes have to be washed by hand. I don't get that.

I have a setting for 12 of "old lady" dishes. It's English bone china with blue and lavender flowers etched on the rims. I'd love to trade it for a smaller set of plain white dishes that I can throw in the dishwasher.

I just had lunch at a rotisserie restaurant with a new friend. Great company and a good meal. My portion of the bill was $5.29. Why would I cook and wash dishes?
