Anyone who´s lived with me in a house not equipped with a dishwasher knows that I´m not a big fan of washing dishes. To my credit, I will wash plates, bowls, cups, mugs, pots, pans, no problem. But silverware. Issues. I´ll leave them to soak and soak they will...for days, even weeks, I hate to admit. A single girl in NYC, I simply went out to dinner or ordered delivery, no biggie. And here in South America, I don´t really have a kitchen, not to mention silverware. I did lift a spoon from the unsuspecting Mama Inez. I plan to return it. One day. So silveware´s not much of a problem here. But socks. They have become my new silverware. You go through them as quickly as forks, knives. They´re mismatched just like silverware inevitably becomes. And they too are a pain in the ass to wash. By hand. I developed a much easier method today, putting them on my hands like mittens. That works much better. But still. Not my favorite thing in the world.
One rumor to dispell: You can use the water when brushing your teeth, and even on occasion swallow a mouthful and not get sick.
