My First Potluck – Hosted by Texas Holly

Last week I received a notification that Holly from June Cleaver Nirvana had linked to me within one of her blog posts.  So obviously I had to go over and check it out.  This is when I was introduced to her Potluck Mondays.  She shared a comical story about a lesson she learned the hard way which was one I could relate to myself.  The whole potluck post seemed fun to me and so I thought I’d join in today.

What’s Potluck Monday?, you ask.  Well to quote Holly herself:

I started throwing potlucks because I would have a bunch of short ideas that couldn’t form a complete post independently.  It has grown into just plain silliness which now amuses me.

I’m going to start my potluck off with my lesson learned which I was inspired to share from Holly’s lesson last week.

I am a mom who uses the dish washer.  I am an avid dish washer user to be exact.  I hate washing dishes by hand but also hate having dishes in my sink.  So everything, including that small measuring spoon you see in the image on the right, goes into the dish washer.  The bottom rack of my dish washer has the plastic silverware holder with various size slots.  One day I placed the measuring spoon within one of those slots and unfortunately not the slot that had the cover over it to secure the spoon inside.  The measuring spoon apparently fell out during the wash cycle and either A.) melted during the drying cycle or B.) got jammed up underneath there so tight my strength can’t remove it.  This happened months ago.  Is the measuring spoon still there?, you ask.

Why yes it is.  It is still in the same exact spot and these photos were taken today, just to be able to share with you all.

Does it stop me from using the dish washer? Absolutely not!  Do I continue to place small objects in the dish washer instead of washing them by hand? Of course!

Lesson Learned: I now make sure all objects are secure within the dish washer or placed inside the baskets with a top.  As far as the measuring spoon goes, well it doesn’t seem to move so I don’t really see a problem.  Do you?

Now for another fun edition thanks to Holly.
