Life without a disposal...

I've grown accustomed to living without a dishwasher, since the kitchen in our home is really too small for one anyway. However, I miss having a garbage disposal. Almost every place we lived before had an Insinkerator disposal. Which made life much easier [well except for a few potato peel incidents] since most of the members of this household don't do a good job in scraping off their plates before putting them in the sink. It was also easer to deal with errant straws and other objects accidently dropped down the drain. On more than one occasion I've had to plunge the kitchen sink, only to discover straws...
