Dishwasher days

Ever have a day where you seem to be loading and unloading your dishwasher all day? Maybe it's because my days blur into another, but I swear I loaded the dishwasher and ran it yesterday and today twice.


It's the weekend and we didn't go to Steak'n Shake for the free kids' meals, so that's one reason we had dishes to clean, the another is that I made waffles this morning for K.

We have an Sunbeam waffle iron and use Krusteaz pancake/waffle mix. We buy the mix in 10lb bags at Sam's Club. 

I always make a double batch since one batch doesn't quite last two days, while a double will last through the week. Usually, I use a Pampered Chef scooper.

Obviously, the Sunbeam waffle iron isn't dishwasher safe, but I ended up with a sink full after breakfast.

Sidenote: Nothing against Whirlpool, but I think my dishwasher may have had some defects to it since the lower rack is started to rust and the plastic button film cover broke off before the machine was a couple years old.   Looked into replacing these minor cosmetic matters, but it would be cheaper to buy a new dishwasher!
