new dishwasher!!

[dsmith]

Whoo hoo. Got a new dishwasher today!!! Our old one has been on the blink, and Dennis wanted to get a new one. I said I didn't mind washing dishes. Well, we were out running around today. I guess he was just waiting for me to make a comment. I said that I didn't think the dishes were as clean as the dishwasher got them. Next thing I knew, we were at Lowes looking at dishwashers. He was ready to get one, and I commented that Sears might have a good deal. Well, sure enough, Sears had one on clearance. It was awesome. Stainless steel front. Nice. So he got it. Dennis is usually pretty frugal, but I am cheap. I was still trying to talk him out of it as he was paying for it. but it is here, he hooked it up, and it is great. It's bigger and prettier than the old one. And seems to have great power.

That was nice of him!!Probally thought that you were going to make him wash more dishes instead of just on Saturday night!!

The last dishwasher I bought got sent home by the I.N.S. Now I have to do most of the dishes

Seriously though, Ours is still working, but I do plan to get Susdan a new one this year. The 14 year old one is starting to worry me. I already replaced the pump once, and the racks are starting to shed parts.

Glad to hear Lymi is taking good care of you.

I usedta work with a guy that said he steamed crappie fillets in his dishwasher. I since read bout that very thing in some fishin mag. I have steamed fish in a rice steamer. Not bad with a lil lemon garlic an pepper.

Just remember not to put no soap in yer washer when ya steam.

I saw a show somewhere, way back, all about how you can cook all kinds of things in flat foil pouches in your dishwasher, plus put your clean plates in at the same time so they are warm to put your food on when it is done. Looked interesting but I have never tried it, though.

That dishwasher sounds terrific! And "clearance" is always the BEST.

I haven't been able to use mine for several years, it backs up and dumps. A church friend (electrician) discovered the problem and half fixed it. I say half, three years later, he still has never come back to put the $2 part in the socket to finish fixing it, so the dishwasher, garbage disposal and one side of my sink doesn't work. And the other side is slow.... and ..... I am too cheap to hire an electrician for an hour's wage to spend 5 minutes installing a $2 part! So I wash by hand on one side.

When my old one wasn't working, and I was washing by hand, instead of buying a dish drainer, I just used the dishwasher racks. Dennis said that was a mighty expensive dish drainer. But it worked great. Us women have a way of making do with what we have.
