We each have our methods which we are comfortable using. Dennis seems to
wash dishes by erosion under a running hot water tap w/no soap (s'truth).
I've told him to leave my dishes and I'll do them later - w/Dawn, a dish
brush and a 3M sponge w/scrubbie on the back.

No doubt, but this is a busy 24/7 truck stop (and general public) place
which is seldom less the 40% full.

I did ask ... and I was right. I make this soup for "special" occasions
usually w/chicken but sometimes using leftover turkey. I makes a *LOT*
for a pair of old bachelors. Fortunately it freezes well.
