Well, while I was at work today, a pipe under the sink in the new house went to crap.  Leeanne said water was pouring out straight sideways at her.  It probably isn't anything other than a loose pipe fitting, or maybe the basket gasket, but the sink is pretty old.  It's one of those sinks that can't be more than 6 inches deep, and I swear we can barely wash anything in it. 

Whenever we get around to buying a place, it will definately have zero radius sinks in the kitchen.  A radius, as far as sinks go, is a rounded corner, and these sinks don't have them.  That makes a whole lot more room in the sink for pots and pans and dishes.

I remember when I was little, having a crappy little sink like this one to wash dishes in.  We had some bigger sinks after I reached adulthood and moved out on my own, but I ususally had a dishwasher, too.  And boy, did I make those things work!!!  At any rate, all my time in restaurants has made them just feel like the right thing to have in a kitchen.  Which reminds me of something else.

About half the people I hear talking about their zero radius sinks are complaining about how hard they are to keep clean.  NEWS FLASH!! Restaurants use them EXCLUSIVELY for washing dishes and food prep.  If you walk into a modern kitchen, or even semi-modern, the only sink you'll find with radiused (sp?) curves is for handwashing.  And frankly, in some of the places I've been assigned to clean up, they were the dirtiest sinks in the building.  Which is odd because the food prep sinks got more use.  YOU do the math.

When I get my way, that's the kind of sink I'll get.
