Dear fellow dough eater (me too!)
Hubby does the dishes if I cook, and i love him even more for it.
I try to cook in stages so I can use one pan if possible, and I clean as I go - easier to rinse out the same bowl and use it again than fully wash it. same re: food processor. start with the cleaner things (chopping nuts) then move on to the messy things (making pesto)
