520    "Washing the dishes is an ordinary, everyday task--but 
       with examination and care, it can become can be much more.
       In this reverent guide to the household chore, Peter 
       Miller shows us how washing dishes can become a joy, a 
       delight, a meditative exercise, and an act of grace and 
       rhythm. We pay so much attention to recipes but little 
       attention to maintenance and clean up. Washing the dishes 
       is as much a part of making a meal as prepping the 
       vegetables, making the sauces, or seasoning the meats. At 
       times it is quite routine, at times raucous, at times 
       complex. It is never convenient. Despite its din and 
       clatter, and despite its reputation, washing the dishes is
       the coda to the meal. It is a bustling musical of water 
       and soap, of flow and surface, and done well, the fragile 
       shall sit as proudly as the cast iron. There are some who 
       do the dishes for the clarity and privacy of it, and there
       are some who relish the quiet isolation putting things in 
       order where they belong. There are some who feel the time 
       and movement is a kind of digestive. In the evening, in 
       particular, there is a silence, when it is all done. How 
       to Wash the Dishes brings elegance, art, and a bit of 
       mindfulness to the sink. It is the perfect gift for those 
       who love to clean and equally as apt for those we wish 
       would clean a bit more"--|cProvided by publisher.
