Enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of first-time parenthood. Progress on the organic vegetable garden and other ramblings of a gaijin in Japan’s least populous prefecture.

Most families here don’t own a dishwasher due to a lack to space. Consequently, the dishes are washed by hand.
Unsure if this is a quirk of my in-laws, the cleaned items are then arranged it a wire bowl to drain. Everything is stacked, inserted or left lying precariously on the top. This seems to be done as a Zen art, the pile reaching a couple of feet.
It must take me three times a long to dry, anxiously removing a teaspoon in the fear the whole lot will go. Why a rack can’t be used I don’t know.
Perhaps I should test my skills and add a couple of sets of chopsticks. It would make an interesting game of Ker Plunk.
