Dishes again…….

Do you hate doing dishes too?

Sometimes I just really cannot stand to do dishes.  I manually wash each individual piece, I know what’s wrong with me?  I guess until I really find a dishwasher that actually works then I just wont be interested.  I used to use a dishwasher and we tried all kinds of different methods to remove the dirt or water spots.  I just got sick of it and realized I can wash the dishes twice as fast and have them done in less time than it takes to run that thing, dryer and all.  I just gave up on them machines.  I know that I can feel the dish and see if anything is on it, plus I’m super picky about how they rest to dry.  LOL

I know I can be so anal about things, I just cannot help it though.  

Most of my dishes come clean fast and easy, probably because the brand they are.  I have used Corelle Dishes made by Corning, since 1997 when I bought my first set.   I still have most of them today,  I have lost (not by breaking), but actually miss-placed a dish or someone was a smarty pants and threw it away (cause they didn’t want me to see what they had hidden in their bedroom).  None the less I love my dishes! When I bought them, it was because they actually matched the tile on my floor!  They were Amazing to me! I love them still.  I couldn’t tell you today what they were exactly like the print name, but they are cool!  I still love them, the plates and saucers that remain have pretty much full color still and hasn’t worn. 

Why would I want to keep the same dishes all these years?  Well the reason is because these are the best dishes around!  I mean my Grandma’s Mom had them too! Not just them my mom had some here and there as well.  I never had dishes that I could actually drop and wouldn’t break.  Even today in my beautiful deep set ceramic sink, I have dropped a bowl or plate now and then.  I have carpal tunnel in both wrists and sometimes I get these jolts and well stuff falls out of my hand.  It’s not all the time just when my wrists are tired, I think.

 Typing here all the time doesn’t help but I love blogging and sharing stories about our life with photos.  Not that it’s all that extravagant.  We just live in a country home and I am always killing a bug! LOL Darn things!

I love to cook and have family over, I make big and plate filling meals with desserts!  It’s my pleasure I must admit.  Food is something I can do good, if I didn’t have such anxiety I would love to go on Hell’s Kitchen or even Chopped.  Well maybe not Chopped any more……  

It’s important to have a beautiful set of dishes to serve your family’s meal on! I love when I see all matching plates, saucers and bowls on my table! It makes me feel like I’m doing it right.  Now I know I didn’t pay much for the dishes I have back in 1997, maybe $40 – $50 and they were one of the best purchase ever, besides the PYREX Baking Dishes I have. Those I have had since around 2002 or 2003, Love’em! 

Well as of today what I have left out of my set of Corelle Diningware/tableware not sure of the exact name. My FAVORITE Dishes works for me.  

My remaining are:

2 Dinner Plates
2 Platters
3 Saucers
2 Bowls
1 Serving Plate (Dinner sized plate with an edge like a bowl)

I will show you.

 I recommend Corelle to anyone, because honestly it is the Best!
