DISHES PLAYLIST
By Mary Eannarino
Counter Service contributor Kate Reuterswärd's recent piece on life without a dishwasher really struck a chord with me — I, too, live in a dishwasher-less apartment and feel like I spend 80% of my time at home with rubber gloves on, poised for battle at my kitchen sink. I love having dinner parties, but just the mere thought of the clean-up post-soirée is enough to make me consider calling the whole thing off. Enter my Dish-Washing-Dinner-Party-Clean-Up playlist. For me, it's the perfect balance of "pump-up" and "cool down"; energizing enough to convince me to tackle the mountain of plates, wine glasses, and that tricky ceramic casserole dish with the gratin now permanently baked into the sides, and relaxing enough to help me wind down after an evening of playing host.
