MrsT’s response to all that in the last few posts is, “I didn’t make that mess, so I’m not cleaning that mess!”

MrOH would clean and will offer to do it, he just doesn't realize there are two sides to a plate and that friction and hot water are necessary to properly clean.

Hmm the children’s story about the hen that asks for help to make a loaf of bread comes to mind!

I never travel anywhere without plenty of tea, for me a trip would be ruined if there wasn't enough tea!

Are you planning on taking a kettle with you? I think it is the case that US hotels. motels etc. don't have tea making facilities in the room. In fact a large percentage of US homes don't have electric kettles.

Sorry, off topic.

On topic. I hate entertaining. If I have to do it everything gets prepared ahead of time so all that's needed is re-heating or assembling. Even doing that is stressful.

Here’s a kettle topic that’s got some interesting bits in it:

What type of kettle do you use?

Including my own super-scientific time-to-boil experiment:

Amount of water: 2 1/2 cups/600ml
Starting temp of water: 65F/18C
Ambient temp of kitchen: 68F/20C

Time from start to automatic shutoff of kettle: 3 minutes, 50 seconds.

My favourite is a Ninja and thats an American brand but the one sold here is 3000watts so I’m hoping there’s a US equivalent.

Yes there is:
Robot or human?

That thing is a beast, 7 cups?
