With living in a hotel apartment for the last 4 weeks and having a "kitchenette" the size of a drawer, I can't wait to move into the house with real appliances. Lucky me though will have a brand new dishwasher waiting for me. But I trade ye for the maid. The place is not even cleaned, so today I have the pleasure of cleaning a house before the movers come and deliver the furniture.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317416564589174535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248196462677139259.post-53857696359467766342010-02-22T23:35:37.652-06:002010-02-22T23:35:37.652-06:00Kitchens here are pretty basic- bench and sink.

If you are lucky the previous (western) tenant has put in under bench cupboards and sometimes even cupboards on the wall but they are always tiny-never a pantry so nowhere to put things like cereal etc. We didnt even have hot water in the kitchen when we moved in even though an instant electric under bench water heater is about 40USD. Can you imagine how many times the jug would be boiled in the course of what I would consider 'normal' kitchen use?!!Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13388362742170805414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248196462677139259.post-9248252417624702732010-02-22T22:50:31.557-06:002010-02-22T22:50:31.557-06:00We are lucky and have a dishwasher, though, this b...We are lucky and have a dishwasher, though, this being the Middle East, it conks out on a regular basis and I get crazy and scream at my family about dried-on food.

So I guess it's impossible to install a dishwasher or you would've done it already?

I grew up hand washing dishes so it doesn't really bother me much to not have a dishwasher but it is nice especially since we could never afford help here so I am the only one loading it. I am trying to teach the kids to use it but really I think I am just making more work for myself that way.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110115324050851439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248196462677139259.post-88361171846563190652010-02-22T13:00:05.572-06:002010-02-22T13:00:05.572-06:00We have a Bosch (sorry), and the one feature I lov...We have a Bosch (sorry), and the one feature I love the most is a little light that comes on and indicates the dishes are sanitized.

It came to me one day after cursing under my breath for the thousandth time. The Kuwaitis don't care about having a disposal, they never do any dishes!! They don't want to make life easier for household help. They don't care. But I do, I am an independent American! There are sometimes I want things to go down the sink and be chewed up and gone.<br /><br /> Jill, I now know what you mean about a "Love /hate relationsship" with the household help. :) There are pros and cons, huh?Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677062694286116097noreply@blogger.com
