A Lesson in Dishes

Last night I made Flash Chicken. Morgan gave me the recipe and it is really good and really easy. The basic ingredients are: cream of chicken, ranch dressing mix, crushed tortilla strips, and chicken breasts. I'm not sure how healthy it was, but it was a big hit.

Usually when I make dinner I try to clean as I go or Colin helps me clean up after dinner... last night was a different story. We decided that instead of doing dishes, we'd rather hang out a bit before going to some friends' house (especially since we've been so busy and haven't gotten very much quality time).

After a riveting episode of 24 and great time with friends we came home late to a disaster area. I gathered dishes and stacked them high in the sink. I was able to justify this by telling myself that "oh, the dishes are just soaking..."

This morning I woke up to disgusting soggy dishes and a strange smell. After a LONG time of cleaning up, taking out the trash, and lighting a candle the smell still lingers. What could it be?

Lesson of the day: do the dishes so that an infectious funky smell does not develop.
