99 New: Guest Tip
Today, I was reminded that probably the most valuable thing you can do as a friend or a helper is to unload the dishwasher.

I agree with Ellen – that I love when people tidy up by putting some of the obvious things into the dishwasher, like plates and mugs and flatware. I prefer to unload so I know where things are the next day. 🙂
yes, people can be very fussy about how to load one, but are happy to let most anyone unload in any style )
Loading is the mucky bit. At the end of an elegant meal, bloated, exhausted and limp; from the planning, executing and finally the over eating. Clearing the table is the last thing you relish. A thoughtful guest takes charge while you sip port and smile. I would love that person a little more as each dish slotted into its rack. I nonetheless enjoy the haphazardness of the crockery in the photograph. 😊
Amen!!! I hate unloading the dishwasher.
Hey – thank you for sending the magazine! I really appreciate it.
Oh good. Glad it reached you, Jan.
