when we got married, we didn't register anywhere. mostly, because we thought people would realize it meant we just wanted their money (that sounds so insensitive... but we were already packing like, 5 muffin tins from the bridal shower, and plenty of food storage and weird pot holders...) but, we did end up with probably 15 gift cards for bed, bath and beyond. which was awesome. i love that store.
also, since we didn't register, we didn't get any pots/pans/knives, so we used all of those gift cards on a nice set of cookware and knife block. it was a good decision. devin had talked with his chef-brother brandon, who said the best way to keep your knives and cookware nice is to keep them out of the dishwasher. and we really don't want to have to buy new cookware in like 3 year. we want it to last awhile. so we agreed to never put them in the dishwasher. and i'm glad we're doing this.
but i HATE (that's a strong word. i just dislike it the most...) washing dishes by hand. and we use that cookware often, so there's almost always a pot or pan in the sink, needing to be washed. and i will avoid them for days, and then i'll catch on that devin is avoiding them as well, and eventually, one of us will break down and do them, or we'll get to the point where there are lots of other dishes to do anyway, and just tackle the entire kitchen together. but seriously. i'm not a fan of washing dishes with my hands. i love having a dishwasher. it's a luxury.
I took this photo as we were cleaning up dinner (devin made amazing pork, homemade biscuits, and of course, i made some rice to go along with it). i probably looked weird taking pictures of dirty dishes in the sink, so i told him it was for the february photo a day challenge, and explained to him that today was a picture of something i hate doing. he said, "well, i'll wash the dishes, and you can dry them," what a sweet man i have. he's a gem, i tell you.
