A real life Martin?

If you are a fan of Something Missing, read this post by Greg Allen. I don’t know the man, but based on his view on rotating dishes, he could be Martin Railsback’s twin.

From his longer post:

“So we have dinner, take down a couple of plates, wash them, dry them, put them back. Have soup more rarely, take down a couple of bowls–big? small?–put them back.

And this is what I sometimes worry about:

Do I put them back on top of the stack?

Because if I do that, guess which dishes will get reached for the next time?

That’s right, the same ones.

So, do I rotate them? Put them at the bottom of the stack?

The glass dessert plates are underneath the glass dessert bowls, so that would mean lifting the entire thing out to put the plates underneath. And the dinner plates are snug under a rack that holds the salad plates, not so easy to get to.

I’m rationalizing now. The reality is I don’t really rotate the dishes that much.

Not as much as I feel I should.
