Ugg. I just ran the dishwasher with a new box of Target brand dish soap. (Up and up.) All the flatware came out with a coat of white "dust" on the handles. (Plastic. 50's style.) Some of it I'm able to wipe off and some of it not.
I'd read articles about phosphate-free dishwasher soap doing this but this is the first time I've run across this. I am not a happy camper as I can't get this flatware anymore and I love it.
Yuck. Just yuck.
I had to upgrade to the "finish" dishwashing tablets with the little red ball things in them. I was getting the white residue with cascade.
rkb - I think that's what I use too...For awhile I used the Cascade gel-paks...I liked those because I didn't have to unwrap the tablet and throw away the wrapper! LOL - how lazy is that? Last time I was at Costco I priced it out and really had to ask myself if I was willing to pay more just to not have to do that - the answer was no but it did have me standing in the aisle for a few minutes trying to justify getting the other ones!
Fun Fact. My Kitchen Aid mixer is the same one my mother got as wedding present. Sure I can't get the fancy attachments but that little sucker still works great!
Also, I use the gel packs because I am also too lazy.
The kids and I have the spent the afternoon looking after the dog following her surgery. The dog is a 9 year-old golden retriever who had 5 large lipoma's removed, so she doesn't look to good at the moment mainly cause she's an old dog, but I'm sure she'll be fine. Anyway my DD8 spent about an hour crying over the dog. They are very close, and she was recounting all her favorite memories of the dog, how sad she'll be when the dog dies, etc, then immediately followed her emotional tribute by asking "when the dog dies can I pick out the next puppy?" Sentimentality apparently runs skin deep, fickle child!
Night all. The plastic surgery thread is making me nuts. Zimbo you are doing a great job. But I don't need the rise in BP from some of those posts. (I've always admired people like you who don't go "All Irish" as my dad used to say. Steam was starting to come out of the top of my head.)
I -am- the dishwasher. We grew up without a mechanical dishwasher, my sister and I did the dishes, and I'd usually wash because my sister's fingers always got too puckered and peely when she did it. None of us ever thought of using gloves
When mom finally did get a dishwasher installed, I was already an adult, and I hated the smell of dirty dishes when we opened the door to put more in. When Anon-Hubby and I moved into our first home, it came with a dishwasher. We used it once, in the 10 years we lived there.

I went with a coworker to apartment shop yesterday and she had the same story! Which is nice for her since in NY all those "amenities" cost extra.
Funny Story: Today I went grocery shopping and there was a little girl with her father. Her father was going to get cheerios and she put her arms across the case and said "NOT A CHANCE". And then her father laughed. It was actually really cute.
