I always like to have something sweet at the end of the night. At the end of a meal. In the middle of the afternoon. Yes, I have a sweet tooth. Not as bad as it used to be, I don’t think. But still.
I’m a messy cook. I made pesto tonight (freaking delicious!)–small food processor. Boiled pasta (big pot), cooked chicken (smaller pan thing), toasted pine nuts (smaller pan), drained pasta (large collander), sauteed veggies (same pan as chicken), several knives. None of those things can go in the dishwasher. Dishwasher was full anyway.
I have a tendency of letting dishes pile up if the washer is full. I hate a messy kitchen, but also hate emptying the dishwasher.
So I made myself a rule. I have to clean the kitchen before I can have my (WW) ice cream. And I also have to make my lunch. So I did both those things before I ate my ice cream. I even squished up some Chex on top of it (it was a small container of chocolate chip cookie dough). I like crunch in ice cream.
So, yeah, I have a clean kitchen now. And a happy belly. I’m going to see if I can stick with this. Either I’ll have a really clean kitchen, or my ice cream consumption will go way down.
