i often wash while cooking and keep the flow well. but no matter what, there is always more to do and put away and that is kinda like the laundry thing to me. love clean stuff and do not mind washing and drying; it is the follow up and put away after i start to lose steam i guess. i rock with prep and mis en place but then after it is going and done i am finished before my time. i do have small kitchen and have dishwasher but do not always use it. sometimes easier to just get it done and put away instead of waiting for later.
