I learned very quickly that if I wanted to get fed I needed to learn how to do dishes.

As you know...Jerry's quite the gourmet cook. <br /><br />As you know, Todd does most of our cooking too. And although I do occasionally clean up, most times I leave things that don't fit in the dishwasher for the next night's load. I know it's lazy, but that's just the way it is.<br /><br />I remember the first time Todd cooked for me (in 1979), he made chicken cordon bleu........is it any wonder I've put on a bit of weight over the years?Carolenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-39076440799545558852012-11-16T02:51:43.959+01:002012-11-16T02:51:43.959+01:00It looks so worth it!

But really, when I have cooked something in the past, all the ingredients get lined up in order on the counter and get put away as I use them. I wipe the counter every time I spill, too. Most nights when San Geraldo gets done, I not only wash the dishes and counter, I also wash the refrigerator, the backsplash, the cabinets and the floor.
