Last night I invited a friend for supper and made beef & broccoli stir-fry, with some rice. I turned out great. I don't often cook a big meal, except once in a while (just to prove I still know how). We had oranges for dessert, and coffee with amaretto to finish it off. When he when home, I just left the dishes in the sink and went to bed.

Had a doctor's appointment this morning, so I tackled the dirty dishes afterwards. Then I took a bunch of dishes out of one of the cupboards, boxed them up and took them down to the basement. I don't think I'll get rid of them. Maybe in a year or 2 I'll rotate them back up to the kitchen and put them out.
