If you go into the kitchen and make yourself a sandwich...do you

eat the sandwich and then clean up and put away
or
put everything away, clean up and then eat the sandwich..

It's probably because I am an oldest child, too, hehe...

Actuallly, I think it's because I was raised by an extreme neat-nik of a mother (which isn't altogether a bad thing, really, in retrospect anyway).

P.S. I was presuming a sandwich with cold-cuts or things that didn't need cooking.

if it is a 'middle of the day' (or night), "snack" clean up first.

If we are all eating...say lunch, clean up is after.

Status: offline 		I eat hot sandwiches (and most hot meals) immediately.  I put things away with cold meals. 

As a cook, I learned to put things away, rinse, and wash the items I use, as I am cooking.  While the pasta is cooking, I am scrubbing the food processor.  When the pasta is finished, I give the bowl a quick rinse (while the pasta is being rinsed) and a wipe down with a sponge and put it away (it's sanitary, considering the water's been boiling in it for a great deal of time.)

The busier you are in the kitchen, cleaning, as you cook, the more time you have to relax after you eat.  I also rinse dishes as soon as I finish eating, to make the ultimate clean up far less taxing.

Hot means i eat first, then clean up. Cold meals i clean up, then eat.

And i almost always wash the dishes as i'm making whatever it is i'm making. Makes for a much more stress free meal.

I've learnt to prioritize my energy & dishes have fallen to the bottom. There is guilt yeah but I'm beginning to be okay with a messy house.

The kitchen has to be clean when I leave it...eat sandwich last.

I just clean the mess when I feel like it. Short of spoiling the food anyway. I am okay with a few dishes in the sink.

I'm also all for paper towels, plates, cups and plasticware. Anything that needs to be refridgerated goes back in the fridge before I eat though.

I usually clean up as I go along.  I really detest the emotional letdown of cleaning up after a nice meal.
