Robo Hobo Homo #095

There was still the matter of chores. Washing dishes from five to seven pm is a big chunk of time, but it was—and still is—the best chore I could have for the schedule I have. Dinner that night was spaghetti.

If you don't do dishes often, let me tell you about tomato-based sauces; they fuck up your dish-doing. They form a film on the top of the water that coats everything you put into the sink. They leave an invisible residue on dishes. They sink into wood. Spaghetti is a pain in the ass.

We do have a restaurant setup here. As a shelter, the kitchen has to operate to code. We've got a rinsing station. We've got a sink for washing, a sink with a bleach soak, and a rinsing sink. It's the whole nine yards. Tosh recently got us pH strips so we can log the effectiveness of the chlorine solution in the bleach soak. It helps a bit.

I didn't get any spaghetti that night, but I did have to wash a lot of it.
