Can I make a suggestion for hosts? As a frequent guest with my family of 4, it’s really inconvenient if there are not enough glasses and dishes to get us through a full day. Minimal glassware and dishes are fine for a small place with no dishwasher, but if there is a dishwasher, I don’t want to have to run it with only 4 plates, 4 forks, and 4 glasses in it.
My dog so does that. She needs to make a nest then lays her head on a ‘pillow’. I try to keep her out of the living room when I am not there or it’s a mess lol.
I have an addition divided off by a sliding door and have a wire shelving unit with a microwave, Keurig coffee, boiler pot, mini refrigerator and basic dishes. I call it a “snack center.” I do the dishes for the guests daily.
And that keeps them out of my kitchen and the rest of the house for that matter. They have their own entrance too.
That’s interesting. What do you prepare for the guests?
I think perhaps Dale meant that he washes their dishes up.
