Dinner at your house seems like so much fun! Re: laundry- I remember as a kid (6 kids+2 adults), we were not allowed to throw down clothes unless they were dirty, and jeans were worn over again for 3-7 days (unless dirty) before we were allowed to throw them down the laundry chute. Like you, my parents only turned the dryer on for X amount of time. If items were still wet, then they were hung. Makes me think about how, 30+ years ago, my parents were not thinking "green" but were basically trying to save money- because they had to. I always enjoy hearing about your dinner ideas.
