It all started when...

I noticed that there was some gross stuff in the little steam vent of the dishwasher.  We popped the little guard off and found all kinds of gross....then we started REALLY started checking things out and 2 hours later the entire dishwasher was dismantled and everything was being scrubbed and sanitized.  I love that my sweet husband indulges me in things like this...."Hey, let unscrew every single thing that we can in the dishwasher and then you can figure out how to put it back together!"  Bonding!  We got a ton of yuck out though, and this is probably something the manual says to do every once in while anyway.  Now I really want to do the washing machine....
