Liz Lemon - can't let it go

For those of you who watch 30 Rock, you know that Liz Lemon, the character that Tina Fey plays, is a stubborn woman. Some people believe I share more than just this one characteristic with Liz Lemon. In fact, my son, Will told me that he has a hard time watching this show because the similarities are a bit too much for him - it 'creeps' him out.

Today, I really wanted to quell that stubborn streak. But, a very loud "AHA!!- I was RIGHT" was out of my mouth and into the empty air of my kitchen before I could stop myself. Luckily, Bill was at work. It took all my strength not to call him on the phone and tell him that I was, once again, correct. I was right, and he was wrong.
Remember that $700 dishwasher I ordered 3 weeks ago? It was finally delivered today. After the installers left, I opened up the manual to read the instructions. And, what did my eyes catch? A small item under the caption "Dishwasher Use" :
ALWAYS PLACE SHARP ITEMS POINTING DOWN. ALWAYS! That's pretty unequivocal.

Remember, this is the SUPERBA KitchenAid. I think that someone who manufacturers a dishwasher and gives it such a lofty name, just might know a thing or two about the proper loading of dishware. So, rather than tell Bill about this published detail, I believe I will just let him read it here.

  1. I agree Liz, it is always better for them to find out that once again, we were right. It still feels good though doesn't it?
