    i’ve recently introduced a new rule for myself - i’m only ever to have one plate, one bowl, one mug, one set of cutlery, up to 2 kitchen knives & 2 pots/pans dirt at a time. if i want to cook more and my usual set is dirty? well, gotta clean them first (though this has also helped me get in the habit of cleaning right after i’m done, so i don’t spend time hungrily waiting for the crusty pans to soak)

    honestly, this has been working great for me. the huge pile of dirty plates and cutlery at the end of the week? no longer a problem, no longer a daunting task, because it no longer exists! there’s one working set, and that’s it

    this also allows me to enjoy my favourite mug all the time instead of once a week :3

    This generally goes against man code. Section 6, Subsection 5, Paragraph 6 states:

    Pb&j uses one knife that is to be left on the edge of the sink, in case oneself should decide that another sandwich is desired. The “time of leaving” for the knife is at least one hour, but has no defined upper bound, unless acted upon by another section of this code.

      The knive must also be cleaned from any Pb&J residues with a paper towel so it can be reused later for other food stuffs.

      If it involves heating food on the stove top or the oven, I’d call it cooking. Find me a child that can make either the bread or jelly without that. I’ll wait.

    I can’t stand dishes so much anymore that I just let the pots I used to cook cool while I’m eating dinner, then just throw them in the fridge.

    I usually eat the leftovers within the following 1-2 days, and I have less dishes because I’m not using containers.
