Well.. if you eat out of the pans.. then use disposable storage containers, there is't really any dishes. I actually can get by with a single plate, bowl and glass here. If I'm not overly lazy, no real dishes. Most of what I cook is oven baked, so I line the baking dish with tinfoil, so cleanup is taking the tinfoil out and tossing it, then a bit of a hot rinse. Crockpot cooking is also a great thing.
Don't get me wrong.. I'm a lazy git. I just can't eat all the sodium that's in most instant foods. I do still have to have a ramen noodle once in a while, creamy chicken please. But I try not to eat that too often.
Tonight.. leftover country-fried steak, mashed taters, and broccoli. I'll have to wash a fork after I'm done eating.
