The Kitchen God's Wife

Yeah, didn't actually read that book, but if I ever meet her (which I won't, what with there being only one true God and all...) I've got a lot of questions. I guess I'll just have do direct them to you, reader.

Don't know which is worse: my bad habit of eating in front of my precious Dakota the Computer (the computer formerly known as Dakota), thereby risking splattering and spilling awful grease and foodstuffs of all sorts on its beautiful body, or my bad habit of not paying attention as I pour water into my cup in front of Dakota the Computer, thereby spilling water all over both the desk and my pants.

Also, I don't know if this is just a Scottish thing, a white people thing, a everyone but Asians thing, or just everyone but my family thing, but my flatmates feel it's ok not to wash the suds off of dishes. And the suds frequently remain on pans, plates, and silverware to dry off. I don't mean just a little spot here that they've forgotten, I mean big splotches of bubbles. Sometimes I wonder if they really rinse them or just dip the dishes in soapy water. I've met a few other people that have this habit, and some people have said it depends on how much soap is left, but this is something I'd never, ever do (expect through careless washing, which happens a lot) because to me, leaving the suds on means the potential of eating soap bubbles, and I don't think we're supposed to eat soap. So, do you find it acceptable? Do you wash off the suds of your dishes? Do you see the bubbles as soap or air? Help me understand your ways, white people.

Hm. Wondering if perhaps I was supposed to make a timely allusion to Crash in my title and try to be clever just because I mentioned 'white people.' I hope not. I don't think I like Crash and all the hoopla associated with it.
