We fill the largest dirty dish with hot water and a squirt of soap. We then wash using that water and rinsing as we go. I generally wash glasses and mugs, then plates and pans, then silverware.

My partner cooks no fail rice every single time. In a small pot, combine 1 unit rice and 2 units water. For example, 1 cup rice and 2 cups water. Then add a dollop of olive oil or a little butte...
