I do wash the plate before it's next use though. Don't think I could give up the oven completely - what about Yorkshire puddings!! :-)Ruthdigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560136830586473734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-10567192222453601132009-10-05T12:10:51.040+01:002009-10-05T12:10:51.040+01:00I had to chuckle at your replies, I do indeed lick...I had to chuckle at your replies, I do indeed lick my plate, not every time because there is often nothing left to lick once I have scraped it clean with a spoon. Sometimes I might drizzle some sesame seed oil over my veg, then I mash up my potatoes on the plate to absorb it. <br /><br />If I have a tin of something in sauce I will lick the plate then. If I can't see any gunge then it's clean. Even if I don't use that plate again it means it will take much less water, soap and effort to wash it. <br /><br />erna, the only germs that are on the plate are mine, so unless it is contaminated by another source, flies landing on it, or pets licking it, I feel fine about using it again. I don't get stomach bugs, can't remember the last time I was sick, or aherm 'loose'. If in doubt you could put the plate in the fridge untill you next use it. I am probably a food hygenists nightmare. <br /><br />I also use the same mug 2 or 3 times for a drink. If you have ever been in a mens workplace kitchen, garage or factory for instance, now that is disgusting. Mugs that are encrusted with brown residue from six months tea drinking. That's going a bit too far. <br /><br />Thank you for your interest and kind comments.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-65239863449256549292009-10-05T10:51:27.747+01:002009-10-05T10:51:27.747+01:00I live alone and am very anxious to follow your ad...I live alone and am very anxious to follow your advise on lots of things, BUT do you never find that you have a stomach upset with not washing up on a regular basis.<br />I really enjoy your blog and can't get enough of it.<br />Erna.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015364724832730359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-86863741733198479182009-10-04T22:31:26.112+01:002009-10-04T22:31:26.112+01:00This post made me chuckle.

I must get through around 7 bowls of washing up water a day and that is without putting the dishwasher on once a day!! Huh, no wonder my bills are so much higher than yours!! I would adopt your ways if it was just me, but like you said its impossible if there are four of you like there are us. I love reading your blog and look forward to your updates. Love your sense of humour.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259302795139490028noreply@blogger.com
